The long-running spring fashion show featuring student-created brands, is an annual highlight for the program.

“I’m proud to create a product that can prevent the ill effects -- precancers, skin cancers, photo-aging – of sun exposure on the hands and one day generate profits to support a small burn clinic in Chiapas state in Mexico. This all started at Pima Community College in a Fashion Design class, something I never imagined.”
