process. The leaf in Upland is graded based on the classer and then are identified as number one through seven, this is based on physical standards. For Pima leaf grades are also determined by classer but are identified from numbers one through six. Reviewing classification between Pima and Upland cotton gives the testers a chance to see the strength of each cotton is and if it is physically stable.

Presentation Type and Session: Oral – Education Recycled Cotton: A Step In the Right Direction Ashley Grace, FTT 450W: Issues in Apparel and Textile Industry Faculty Mentor: Professor Lynn Boorady, Technology This research focuses on recycled cotton. Knowing that cotton is the largest fiber produced in the world, I decided to focus on the impact cotton has on the textile industry and the environment. Because textiles make up 12% of the waste we find in landfills, my stance on the topic is that there needs to be improvements in the manufacturing process of textiles and how we discard them. My presentation will provide facts, figures and diagrams supporting the need for better waste management for apparel and textiles. I will also share different ways the textile industry is going about this; such Business and Fashion & Textile Technology as focusing on recycling cotton to reduce unwanted waste and the benefits that recycling has. Presentation Type and Session: Poster VI Recycling Cotton Kelsey Boerema, FTT 450W: Issues in Apparel and Textile Industry Faculty Mentor: Professor Lynn Boorady, Technology Recycling cotton is about the positive effects recycling cotton can have in the world. Landfills are where much of the waste from the textile industry ends up. The chemical finishes left on this waste end up harming the environment when left to deteriorate in a landfill. Cotton, being the most widely used fiber in the textile industry, is a great way for companies make a positive impact on the environment. Cotton is a fiber that can be easily recycled and used in various ways such as for home insulation, to clean up oil spills, or to be spun into new yarn. Many companies, such as Cotton Incorporated, have realized its potential and have started recycling campaigns such as “Cotton: From Blue to Green”, which recycles denim for use in home insulation. Scraps of cotton that have already been dyed and treated can also be recycled and spun into a new yarn, which not only helps the environment, saves companies money too. To understand the full importance of recycling cotton, I researched the role of cotton in the textile industry, landfills and their effect on the environment, the textile industry’s effect on the environment, and the different ways that cotton can be recycled. Presentation Type and Session: Poster III Sales Forecasting For Menswear Kelsey Boerema and Richard Smith, FTT 350: Fashion Merchandising Applications Faculty Mentor: Professor Liza Abraham, Technology For this presentation we developed a sales forecast using past data and carrying out trend analysis. Department 315 which sells men’s shirts carries four different classifications, Class 10, Class 20, Class 30, and Class 40. Classification 10 consists of moderately priced shirts, Classification 20 consists of high priced shirts, Classification 30 designates designer shirts, and Classification 40 is for fitted shirts. In order to predict the sales for the four classes within the department, we conducted trend research using sources such as WGSN and WWD. Based on the information we found, we decided that there would be an increase in sales in all of the classifications due to the growing interest among men to be well dressed. One of the main reasons men are buying clothing is to look their best in order to get a job and keep it. The most increased styles in our research were the fancy spreads and fancy button downs because those looks were what were seen on the runway and magazines. Class 10 had the most overall increase out of all of the classes due to the fact that it is the most affordable and past data indicated its preference among our customers.

50 Business and Fashion & Textile Technology Saving the World One Shirt At a Time: The Patagonia Story Sara Geartz, FTT 450W: Issues in Apparel and Textile Industry Faculty Mentor: Professor Lynn Boorady, Technology In a society where we are constantly being reminded to take care of the environment, sustainability has become a new fashion statement. Many retailers are making the change to organic products, as well as monitoring how much of the earth’s resources they are using or destroying in the production of the products. A company that has been at the forefront of this movement since the 1970’s is Patagonia. Founder Yvon Chouinard, who started out making rock-climbing equipment in his garage in the late 1950’s, has turned Patagonia into one of the largest eco-friendly companies in the world. After realizing how much of an impact the fashion industry was making on the environment, Chouinard decided that he needed to think of a more sustainable way to do business. This research paper will outline what Patagonia is doing to help the environment, why it’s so important and how they are getting other businesses as well as their consumers involved in the effort. My poster will outline all the great projects that Patagonia has started to not only reduce their impact on the earth, but also to give consumers the knowledge they need to make a difference. Presentation Type and Session: Poster I The Science of Appliance: The Blogging Intern Danielle Dudkowski, BUS 378: Business Professional Practice Faculty Mentor: Professor Lynne Scalia, Business My poster session will provide an overview of the marketing internship tasks that I am completing at Marcone Supply. Marcone Supply is a parts distributor for major appliances located in Cheektowaga, NY. Harry Markow founded Marcone in 1932. Over the past couple years, the company’s property maintenance, cooling and heating markets have exponentially grown. Marcone currently has 45 locations in the United States not including Canada. The locations include 12 distribution centers and 6 call centers. Marcone covers over 94% of the population with next-day ground shipping. Marcone also ships parts to 117 different countries. These major appliances include dishwashers, ranges, refrigerators and HVAC. My internship responsibilities include creating an inventory database. I use Microsoft Access and identify part descriptions for over 27,000 parts and categorize them by part numbers. I had the opportunity to learn more about social networking. I created a blog to promote Marcone Supply’s website. I identify interesting topics and write up a blog and then upload to various blog promotion websites. I am learning so much about social networking and how to market a business through the worldwide web. I create, update contact information for all the branches throughout the US. I have also created monthly surveys, updated contact information for vendors and processed shipping requests. Presentation Type and Session: Poster V Seven Habits of Highly Effective Event Managers Rachel Pettys, HTR 375: Events Management Faculty Mentor: Professor Kathleen O’Brien, Hospitality and Tourism Successful event planners have one thing in common: they must be very organized. The fundamentals of planning an event require extreme amounts of structure and time. There are many things that can get lost in the hustle and bustle of planning an event, so it is very important to stay on task. Many professionals recommend documenting every detail of the event as one effective way to stay organized. The itinerary, key contacts, contracts, banquet event orders, and more are chronicled and saved. This is another activity that is commonly practiced. A capable event planner should also have key communication skills. Other strategies that aid in organization include the development of checklists to assure good follow up. These tools alone may not be enough though. This is why an in-depth look at Stephen Covey’s highly acclaimed book, The Seven Habits of Highly Effective People is used to explain the correlation between highly effective people who manage the events and their success rate. The poster presentation summarizes characteristics of “highly effective people” who are also event managers in Buffalo. Presentation Type and Session: Poster IV Social Responsibility Is the New Pink Kit Sombke, FTT 450W: Issues in Apparel and Textile Industry Faculty Mentor: Professor Lynn Boorady, Technology As one of the biggest industries in the world, textiles create a variety of products and generate a lot of revenue. The most popular textile fiber is cotton. Many companies are becoming socially responsible (SR) which may include using organic cotton. My research delved in to the questions of why and how companies are becoming socially responsible. SR companies may range from selling only organic cotton clothing, or basing their brand concept around using only recyclable materials. Current research also indicates how cotton is classified organic and how current production of cotton is reducing the textile industry’s carbon footprint. Being socially responsible can range from how one treats their workers, how a company manufactures their clothes, to what they sell in their stores. Just because brands and industry leaders are striving towards becoming socially responsible doesn’t mean consumers are also active in the trend as well. My research found that older and educated citizens were knowledgeable about organic cotton and interested in being socially responsible. Educated consumers are less likely to purchase products that are of unknown origin. Presentation Type and Session: Poster VII
