Pop-Up Poughkeepsie, US May 2024

MPorium at Marist is an entrepreneurial boutique operated by students enrolled in the Retail Entrepreneurship course. As a live retail laboratory, MPorium allows students across all class levels and areas of study to delve into the nuances required for running and maintaining a fashion enterprise, including the challenges and responsibilities of operating a fully functional retail store and e-commerce website. The class is divided into seven teams that concentrate on both the creative and strategic elements that work together to create a cohesive business strategy: Finance, Buying and Merchandise Planning, Visual Merchandising, Marketing, E-Commerce, Store Operations/ Human Resources, and Event/Community Outreach. The Spring 2024 theme is "free to FLOURISH". Our theme represents how we as students have flourished during our time at Marist College. Marist has provided us with an encouraging and inspiring environment to feel free to flourish. Similar to the blooming visuals incorporated in the store, we have all blossomed into unique individuals at Marist. We designed this theme to foster an inviting atmosphere where everyone can flourish in their own special way!
