Stevens-The Institute of Business & Arts Volume 1, Issue 1

May 17 2017

1. Recently, Fashion Fund held a networking event with a major turn-out. I must say the de-signs of Reuben Reuel and his clothing line De-mestik captured the most eyes of the even-ing. Another Designer Highlight of the Night was Allison Mitchell who is known for her hand-bags made of all-natural fur or hide. Student vol-unteers included Breon-na Williams, Monica Ransom, Cece White, and Phylicia Anderson. Their duties for the night included standing by each designer’s work , and when people

came to view their products they talked about the designer and the style they represented. Oth-er attendees for the night includ-ed The Chamber of Commerce, Urban League and Radio One.

2. Cinco De Mayo Bingo to benefit the Siba Scholarship Fund was filled with lots of hugs, laughter, and Bingo. The turn out for the event was amazing and an esti-mate of 70+ People

showed up to support the SSF. The Tequila Pull turned out to be amazingly successful including one dear Bingoer who bought 6 mini Bottles and won the bigger bottle. One must-have for next year: more

tequila.

“I love street style and

color. Big earrings, handbags and sun-

glasses are my must

have over everything.”—

Breonna Williams

“I consider my style as edgy, fun, and comfort-

able. My must have

item is a jacket. They

go with everything”– Angel Haynes

“My style is minimal

and clean. Plants are a

must in any home.

They are the life to add in the home. It makes

space look more livable.

Makes spaces more alive

and happy.”– Jaimie Haas

“I must say my go to style is

girly, but I do like to play off the seasons. My must have

item is a purse. I cant go

any where without it. “

– Jasmine Griggs

Hey Guys! It is May and you know

what that means. Yes, I know we all dislike finals, but they are

coming. Here are a few tips on

how to pass.

1.Experiement with Different

forms of Studying Not everyone studies the same so find a

method that works for you.

2. Stay Active Did you

know exercising releases

more blood to the brain,

allowing it to have more energy to retain more infor-

mation.

3.Flash Cards Flash Cards are a simple and easy way to learn all

the material. Mix them up be-

cause most likely the questions

will not be in order come finals

day.

4.Visualize If you are a visual

learner like me, then this method will surely work for you. Creating

a mind map of your study guide

makes your studying a little easier

by helping visualize the concepts

and how they are related to eachother.

5. Last but not least, At-

tend your Reviews People.

Do not miss final review

day. Your teacher goes over

the structure of the test and possibly some questions

that will be on it so you

don’t want to miss it.
