Summary of Funded Grants:
Role of the Retail Sector in Easing Sudden and Slow Motion Economic Shocks
NRI Grant 2008 - 2011: Project Summary
Recently, rural communities have faced massive demographic shifts and economic restructuring, creating unprecedented need for change. Some communities have adapted well; they have demonstrated greater resiliency. We address the overlooked contribution of the retail sector to rural community resilience. This gap in the literature is an important problem because the knowledge will allow researchers to specify how consumers, retailers, and community sectors interact to enhance resilience. Also, there is need for rural development strategies that aid in stemming out-migration of younger residents. The goal of the proposed integrated project is to identify how retailers contribute to resiliency in rural communities coping with economic and non-economic shocks and use results to educate students, community leaders and retailers about resiliency. Based on institutional theory and informed by preliminary qualitative data, the central hypothesis is that local retailers provide multiple resources that contribute to community resiliency. Our mixed-methods approach collects quantitative data to identify retail contributions to resiliency, triangulates findings with preliminary qualitative results, and engages college students in quantitative and qualitative project research. As outcomes we expect to find that specific characteristics influence community ability to attract and retain new retail business and these effects will differ in resilient and non-resilient communities. Research results will be used to develop focused diagnostic tools for a pilot project aimed at building community resiliency through experiential learning projects engaging post-secondary students with rural community constituents. Exposing college students to rural career opportunities may help mitigate the “brain drain” that has frequently stifled rural community resiliency.
Latino and Women Owned Businesses as Generators of Amenity Rich Rural towns in the Corn Belt and Northern Plains States
NRI Rural Development 2008-2010,
T. Besser (Iowa State University - Sociology) , N. Miller (University of Nebraska -Merchandising and Small Business), R. Goe (Kansas State University - Sociology)
Rural communities in the Plains and Corn Belt states have not participated in the "rural renaissance" experienced in other parts of the country. However, the growth of Latino and women owned businesses occuring in rural towns in those states offers the promise of enhancing economic vitality and creating amenities that attract and retain young adults. We argue that formal business networks are a mechanism that can be utilized by towns and policy makers to increase the survival, success, and civic mindedness of business owners. Successful civic oriented business will in turn help create destination downtowns and advance other quality of life amenities in those locations. We propose a research protocol to better understand the challenges and needs of Latino/a and women business owners and mechanisms to build effective business networks tailored to their specific situation. We will develop an amenity inventory and determine the relationship of amenities to youth migration and business success. The inventory will help small towns in the Plains and Corn Belt identify and promote the historical, cultural, recreational, and street life amenities unique to their circumstances. This knowledge will be incorporated into Extension, SBDC, and community development materials and programming in Iowa, Nebraska, and Kansas.
Increasing membership in NCCC-065. One new member, Scarlet Wesley from the University of Kentucky has joined the group. She indicated she was looking for a multi-state project on the NIMS system and thought our objectives matched her interests. Other schools not represented but could be tapped included, Illinois, Purdue, Missouri and Virginia Tech. Marilyn DeLong indicated members need not be from land-grant institutions, but should include those whose interests connect to our objectives.

Reports on University research and significant program initiatives
University of Delaware
The Department of Fashion and Apparel Studies at University of Delaware has enrolled seven students in the MS in Fashion Studies program. The department has also developed a doctoral program and that proposal has been approved at the college level and should be through the approval process by spring. As part of the Business International Education grant ($165,000) through the Department of Education, four faculty have traveled to Asia to do the work of the grant. The department hosted two undergraduates from Hong Kong Polytechnic University during spring semester 2008 and one University of Delaware student spent spring semester at Hong Kong Polytechnic University. The online grad certificate program in Socially Responsible and Sustainable Apparel Business continues to enroll students. We continue to offer the Fashioning Social Responsibility Distinguished Lecture Series for the fourth year. In March Lynda Grose spoke on Sustainability: A designer’s perspective. In October 2008 we had Coral Rose from Eco-Innovations speak on Sustainable textiles: Mindset shift at the design level. The department is also involved in a new initiative: the University of Delaware Sustainability Apparel Initiative (UDSAI). This initiative will promote environmental sustainability and social responsibility in the apparel and retail industries. In partnership with key leaders from industry and the public, the UDSAI will link UD faculty, undergraduate, and graduate students with industry and other leaders involved in sustainability in a collaborative partnership to launch research, education, community service, and public policy endeavors that expand knowledge and skills needed for a more sustainable future.
Report from the University of Georgia
University initiatives include establishing the Medical College of
Georgia/University of Georgia Medical Partnership Campus in Athens and
continuation of the Archway projects throughout the state engaging UGA
faculty in partnering on community needs/initiatives. Undergraduate
enrollment is steady with tremendous growth in the Family Financial
Planning major and the Consumer Economics program on the Griffin campus.
Graduate enrollment is increasing. The undergraduate emphasis in Soft
Goods Manufacturing & Merchandising continues to gain momentum. Students
are gaining experience sourcing products internationally and
domestically working with industry partners in Georgia. Study abroad
trips to Tokyo and London and an upcoming trip to China enhance
students’ global experiences. Four faculty joined the college in Fall
2008 and two will begin in January 2009. Faculty in Textiles,
Merchandising & Interiors developed three historic clothing and textile
exhibits, Shaping the Silhouette: A Glimpse into 20^th Century Fashion
at the Georgia Museum of Art, The Other Man from Plains: Billy Carter’s
Wardrobe Revealed in the Barrow Hall Gallery and For the Love of Labels:
the Art of Designer Ready-to-wear at the Lyndon House. The College
continues to increase the number of endowed professorships with the
naming of the Bill & June Flatt Professor in Foods & Nutrition and
funding of a University of Georgia Professorship in Family & Consumer
Sciences. Other endowments have been funded to support general academic
needs across the college. A planned giving initiative, 100 Legacies in
the Making, resulted in 106 planned gifts to the College.
Report from Iowa State University
The College of Human Sciences at Iowa State University is searching for a new dean. Interviews will commence during spring 2009. The interim dean is Dr. Pamela White from Food Science and Human Nutrition. The Helen LeBaron Hilton Chair for 2008-2009 is Dr. Gloria Ladson-Billings, an expert on teacher education training, minority student and faculty success, and critical race theory at the University of Wisconsin, Madison. She will visit Iowa State University several times during spring semester 2009 to contribute to seminars, classes, and workshops as well as give public and class lectures and work with individual faculty and graduate students.
The Apparel, Educational Studies, and Hospitality Management Department (AESHM) received funding for an endowed chair—the Noma Scott Lloyd Chair in Textiles and Clothing. The Department is searching for a candidate to fill the professor-level position with a focus on technology and textiles and apparel. The Department also is searching for two positions in consumer behavior/marketing and management, respectively. Faculty hired for the positions will need to teach classes that service both hotel and restaurant management and textiles and clothing students.
The AESHM Department passed its 7-year university review last spring. It has begun recruitment of students from Dong-Hua University in Shanghai, P.R. China, for the joint Masters program with the apparel science program at that university. AESHM was also given a body scanner as part of the recruitment package for a new faculty member. Several interdisciplinary studies involving the body scanner have begun with departments around campus.
Report from Kansas State University
The Department of Apparel Textiles and Interior Design continues to pursue opportunities for infusing sustainability into the undergraduate and graduate programs as well as in faculty member scholarship programs. Four new faculty members were hired in the past year. Two apparel and textile faculty: Drs. Kim Hiller Connell and Diana Sindicich and two interior design faculty: Professors Chan Kim and Lindsey Clark. Dr. Hiller Connell received her Ph.D in apparel and textiles from Michigan State University where she also completed a specialization in environmental science and policy. Her scholarship program focuses on sustainability of the apparel and textiles supply chain and sustainable consumer behavior. Dr. Sindicich received her Ph.D in Apparel Product Development from Florida State University and her research program focuses on apparel fit issues.
An innovative team approach for Agricultural Experiment Station appointments was designed and implemented in the past year. Two faculty, Drs LeHew and Haar, have AES appointments, but additional faculty interested in sustainability research share the lab facilities, graduate research assistants, and funding support. A collaborative approach will enable an increased number of sustainability projects to be implemented at one time, will have a positive impact on scholarship productivity, and hasten disciplinary transition to a sustainability mindset. The team’s mission states: We are dedicated to facilitating environmental responsibility through scholarship programs enhancing ecologically sustainable products, processes, thinking, values, behavior and leadership. Projects in progress: Dr. LeHew is examining antecedents to ecologically sustainable consumption practices and identifying barriers to sustainable consumer behavior as well as exploring processes for decreasing such barriers;
Dr. Haar is growing and dyeing with annuals, perennials, biennials, herbs, bushes and wildflowers on fabrics made from organic fibers. She approaches the process from both scientific and aesthetic viewpoints. Scientifically, she is examining energy efficient processes for color extraction and retention, and aesthetically exploring variegated color, thickening, and resist techniques. Currently Dr. Hiller Connell is investigating environmentally significant apparel consumption behaviors and barriers and the decision making of ecologically conscious apparel consumers. She is also working to define environmentally significant apparel consumption from an environmental impact perspective and assess apparel students’ knowledge of sustainability issues within the apparel and textiles industry. Professor Anderson’s education in architecture and practical experience in historic preservation provide a distinct perspective from which to consider the ways in which interior designers influence human decisions that might lead to a sustainable future. She is using historical perspectives to examine and evaluate the wisdom of contemporary values and actions related to sustainability in the built environment. Dr. Hawley’s scholarship area is in the systems understanding of textile recycling behavior including the behavior of the myriad constituents involved in both pre- and post-consumer textile recycling processes and she is currently working on projects related to sustainability leadership for the future.
Students have received recognition for sustainable focused projects as well. For example, a team of Kansas State University interior design students won 1st place in an international student design competition sponsored by the Interior Design Educators Council. The team's win was announced in Montreal, Canada in March, 2008. The competition had a theme of social justice, including sustainability and affordable housing in the U.S. and Canada. An apparel and textile graduate student delivered two presentations at an international conference where she also received the Oris Glisson Fellowship for her professional potential.
Kansas State University has also recognized the importance of sustainability in higher education by becoming a member of the Association for Advancement of Sustainability in Higher Education and hiring a Director of Sustainability – Dr. Ben Champion. January 23, 2009 the university will host a Sustainability Conference and participate in the national Teach-In scheduled for February 5th, 2009. The College of Human Ecology will take an active role in organizing and facilitating the Teach-In event. K-State is currently undergoing a major administrative transformation, as Dr. Jon Wefald announced his retirement to commence at the end of the academic year. There are currently position searches for Dean of the Graduate School, Dean of the College of Architecture, Planning and Design, Associate Provost for International Programs, and a new football coach.
Report from the University of Kentucky
The Merchandising, Apparel and Textiles department in the School of Human Environmental Sciences recently established a standalone Master’s in Merchandising degree. Previously, the department held a joint degree with Interior Design. The Merchandising, Apparel and Textiles department has been working to establish an industry advisory board. A preliminary board has already been working on one of the departments’ major projects for the year, the designing of the official University of Kentucky Plaid. The Department of Merchandising, Apparel and Textiles has a new interim Department Chair, Dr. Ann Vail the Director of the School of Human Environmental Sciences. The School of Human Environmental Sciences initiated a public policy blog to keep the government officials of the state of Kentucky aware of the ways our school provides support to the important issues facing the citizens of the state. The School of Human Environmental Sciences is undergoing accreditation review this year. This year, the University of Kentucky has focused on student retention. As a result, the College of Agriculture has implemented an early academic alert system and has provided workshops and mentoring to freshmen in order to retain more students.
Report from Michigan State University.
We are well settled into the merger with Advertising, Public Relations and Retailing. We like our new colleagues and have been treated really well. The College of Communication Arts and Sciences has a great perspective. They are highly irreverent. Which I like quite a lot. There are a variety of really interesting projects going on including serious gaming. We are working on a project for USDA on Best Buying Practices which we hope to transfer into a NSF grant on serious gaming. Serious gaming is using the best science of play to educational programming.
Report from the University of Nebraska-Lincoln
The Textiles, Clothing, and Design (TCD) department has been given a new position by UNL Academic Affairs. This new position in apparel and textiles merchandising is at the assistant professor level starting in fall 2009. New to the merchandising program area is an emphasis in entrepreneurship. This 12 hour emphasis in entrepreneurship marks the first collaborative efforts between TCD and the Management Departments at UNL. Students in merchandising currently receive a minor in Marketing but will now have an opportunity to advance knowledge of starting their own businesses. In the College of Education and Human Sciences work continues in coordination with the state department of education and several school districts in Nebraska to examine issues related to immigration research and education needs for youth in the state. A newsletter was initiated following a March 5, 2008 meeting of school superintendents, migrant education or ESL coordinators, University of Nebraska extension educators, and students from 25 of the state’s most rapidly diversifying districts. The meeting allowed for exchange of ideas and consideration of network of groups focused on immigration and changing demographics in communities.
Station report for University of Minnesota
At the University of Minnesota we have faculty working in the area of retailing and consumer behavior. Their current research projects include exploring college students' relationships with retailer brands, the relationship between emotional loyalty and share of wallet and the influence of brand recognition on e-tailer image, store loyalty, and consumer misbehavior.
We also have a faculty member working on design and visual aspects of retail environments. Her current projects include perceptions of product and store design attributes (both visual and tactile) and their implications for sustainable retailing.
We have researchers working in the area of apparel product research and development to understand and effectively implement the product design and development process. Two areas of emphasis are: 1) developing products that enhance human health and safety and 2) studying the human body to improve apparel fit and sizing. Current projects include breast cancer survivors treatment related body and posture changes and quality of life (with the Cancer Research Center), assessing body size and shape change through a weight loss protocol (with the General Clinical Research Center) developing a 3-dimensional body image intervention tool (with Psychiatry dept.), developing a pesticide applicators safety education module. All of these projects are conducted through the Human Dimensioning Laboratory.

Report from North Dakota State University
The College of Human Development and Education at North Dakota State University is in the fourth year of the College Five Research Plan. Buyouts have been provided during the year for faculty to give them extra time to prepare a grant for external funding, collect data that would be important for an external proposal, or complete work on refereed publications. In addition, funding has provided to support faculty research and to assist graduate students with their research. Participation in all programs has increased from previous years. Additional graduate assistants have been funded to free up faculty time, as the workload during the past years has increased. The Department of Apparel, Design and Hospitality Management, applied for and was awarded one of the new assistantships. The graduate student is working with our newest retail merchandising faculty hire on her research. In addition, three full time undergraduate advisers have been hired for the college to advise freshman and sophomore students. Other opportunities provided by the college include concurrent sessions at the annual college professional development day focusing on proposal development, and use of tools that can aid in preparation of publications; the reduction of teaching loads so that tenure-track and tenured faculty teach no more than two courses a semester; a second HDE Research Showcase was held last spring where faculty and students had the opportunity to display their work, and graduate presentations were reviewed and award winners were selected. Increased research in the department is being seen as a result of additional resources. We continue to see an increase in exchange students in our programs. Students at AIT (Ansel Institute of Technology) in India began programs in Retailing and in Hospitality and will attend AIT for two years and then be on our campus in the fall of 2009. Dr. Holly Bastow-Shoop and Dean Virginia Clark Johnson met with the faculty and administration at AIT in January 2008 to finalize program planning. A trip to India is being planned for December-January, 2008-2009, for students, faculty and staff who are interested in exploring opportunities for collaboration in India and, also, learning more about the country. This trip is being offered collaboratively with Kansas State and the University of Idaho. Dr. Bastow-Shoop and Clark Johnson traveled to China in October 2008 to meet with faculty and administration at four universities in and around Changsha for possible collaboration beginning in fall 2009. Three faculty attended the Synergies Conference sponsored by faculty at the University of Tennessee last summer. This has resulted in a new course being proposed and the redesigning of some currently taught courses to make stronger connections between the programs in merchandising and hospitality and tourism management.
Report from Ohio State University
• The Textiles & Clothing program at The Ohio State University has voted to change the program name to Fashion & Retail Studies. Approval has been received at department and college level and we are awaiting University level approval.
• The Textile & Clothing program faculty members have been working to develop an Industry Board.
• As a result of attendance at the Synergies Conference hosted by the University of Tennessee (joint Textiles/Apparel/Merchandising and Hospitality conference), faculty in Textiles & Clothing are meeting with Hospitality Management faculty (all in Department of Consumer Sciences) to explore potential synergies in teaching, research and student outreach activities.
• The College of Education & Human Ecology has a new Dean: Cheryl Achterberg, formerly Dean at Iowa State University. She is launching several new programs: one provides incentives for multi-disciplinary research/grant writing. Others still to be announced.
• As a result of the National Research Council review of the Ohio State University graduate programs, the Graduate School is putting tremendous pressure on graduate programs to improve their “quality”, defined by statistics, including time to degree, GRE scores of accepted applicants, undergraduate GPA of accepted applicants, % of domestic accepted applicants, % of students on funded research. Size of program is also under scrutiny.
Report from Oregon State University
The department of Design and Human Environment (DHE) at Oregon State University is having its centennial celebration (“Inspired by Our Past, Designed for Our Future, 1908-2008”)! Several events were held as a part of centennial celebration – the DHE career symposium, DHE fashion show with a centennial theme, alumni events at NIKE, and so forth. Oregon State University has strategic focus on three areas: program distinction, student success and engagement, and diversification of revenue. Especially for student success and engagement, the College of Health and Human Sciences and the Department of Design and Human Environment have successfully implemented the initiative offering a variety of programs for first year students (Learning in Communities to Be Successful); LinC Learn, LinC Live, LinC Lead, URICA, and GLOBE. The Department of Design and Human Environment continues to improve student success and engagement. Close 100 students had a summer internship at various companies and more than 70% of them received job offers. The department continues to offer both domestic and international study tours. This summer, the department offered a new study tour to Hong Kong Fashion Week in addition to regularly offered European study tours. As an on-going international collaboration, the department hosted undergraduate and graduate students from Fu Jen University in Taiwan. The College of Health and Human Sciences is currently looking for a director for the new Hallie Ford Center for Healthy Children and Families in the college.
Report from the University of South Carolina
Dr. Sheryl Kline was announced as the Interim Dean of College of Hospitality, Retail, and Sport Management. The college is focusing more toward research. The college is engaged in several study abroad opportunities including programs in China, Dominican Republic, and Italy. The department of retailing recently hired two new faculty members in the retailing/fashion merchandising area, and they are still searching for two assistant/associate professor positions in retailing/fashion merchandising. The department has created a Global Scholars program to provide students with exposure of scholars and students from another culture in their native setting. The topics presented to the students are selected by the host institution. Inha University presented “Fashion Retailing in Korea- Korean fashion industry, fashion retail environments, modern and traditional fashion retail systems” to students at the University of South Carolina. Hanyang University presented “Korean Apparel Industry- Industry dynamics and strategic positioning in the global value chain” to students at the University of South Carolina. The University of South Carolina presented “An Examination of Influential Variables in the U.S. Fashion Industry” to Inha University. Students’ interaction with the Global Scholar and first hand exposure to another culture provides them with additional information and knowledge to succeed in the retailing industry.
Report from South Dakota State University
South Dakota State University’s College of Family and Consumer Sciences (FCS) is deep in discussions with the College of Education and Counseling (CEC) and the Department of Health, Physical Education, and Recreation (HPER) to create a new college – currently called New College. Serious and all-inclusive discussions have been on-going since August 2008 and with a target of 1 July 2009 for realignment of budgets and leadership into a new college structure. The current College of FCS has an enrollment of approximately 850 undergraduate students, three departments, and eight majors: Department of Design, Merchandising, and Consumer Sciences (DMCS) – with majors in Interior Design, Apparel Merchandising, and Consumer Affairs; Department of Human Development (HD) – with majors in Early Childhood Education, Human Development and Family Studies, and Family and Consumer Sciences Education; and Department of Nutrition, Food Science, and Hospitality (NFSH) – with majors in Nutrition and Food Science, and Hotel and Foodservice Management. The College of FCS also has graduate programs in the three departments, with enrollment of approximately 40 students. Three departments in the College of CEC are Counseling and Human Resource Development (M.Ed. and M.S. degrees only), Educational Leadership (M.Ed.) and Teacher Education – with singular majors within each department. Since undergraduates in the College of CEC declare a major in their content area, there is no way of estimating baccalaureate students for the college. With similar missions and areas of focus, the joining of these two colleges and department show promise for rich collaboration and success.
Additionally, SDSU has recently received approval from the SD Board of Regents to begin planning a new Master’s of Architecture Program; essentially a 4+2 program of an undergraduate degree in Architectural Studies followed by two years of graduate work yielding a Master’s of Architecture Degree. While this new program will likely not sit in the new college, because of the strong interior design program within the College of FCS, faculty and leadership within the Department of DMCS have been closely involved in the planning process.
