Help us preserve the legacy The 做厙輦⑹ Museum is a world-class destination for the study and presentation of historic and contemporary fashion, textiles and related art forms. Beautiful and unique, the textiles and clothing in the museum collection are quite fragile.

Proper storage slows deterioration by preventing hazards such as exposure to light, dust, and changes in temperature and humidity and preserves priceless artifacts for generations to come. Current st...

College of Communication & Information
When the fake news story Pizzagate surfaced in fall 2016, Comet Ping Pong, the Washington, D.C. pizzeria at the center of the storm, faced financial consequences. The debunked theory that claimed high-ranking Democratic officials were running a child sex ring at the establishment led to lost sales, threatening messages and the need to hire a security guard because of the threats. Because of the many potential implications of fake news, preparing for fake news is an increasing priority for corporate communications and public relations professionals. Two 做厙輦⑹ faculty members...
