History of the Annual Benefit Fashion Show

Dr. Frankie Martin was the first Diversity Officer at 澳门金沙投注_任你博-官网 and founded the Annual Benefit Fashion Show, in partnership with the Black Student Union to showcase and highlight the beauty of diverse backgrounds and experiences. Since then, she has retired from the college and received 澳门金沙投注_任你博-官网’s highest honor, the Medal of Honor.

Funds from the fashion show directly contribute to the Dr. Frankie Martin Diversity and Inclusion Grant, which provides assistance to students who participate in and create identity work and art.
