MILRSO is a very important organization at Cornell University: the Minority Industrial and Labor Relations Student Organization (MILRSO). MILRSO offers social, academic, and pre-professional support to its members by organizing programs throughout the year that strengthen professional skills, academic excellence and foster a sense of community within its membership.
One area that MILRSO is passionate about is the recruitment and retention of diverse students at Cornell. Every year our organization celebrates multi-cultural heritages and international arts by producing the largest fashion event at Cornell during our Diversity Hosting Weekend. The show is estimated to cost over $20,000 and attracts thousands of viewers. Because it is one of the most popular show on campus, it also allows designers, performers, and models from all types of backgrounds to have the opportunity to gain exposure.
This year’s show was even bigger. The theme was called Sensual Revolution. “Revolution” in light of the changes our country will embark with the arrival of a new biracial president (economically, politically, and socially).”Sensual”because we ask for glamour, fun, sexy yet tasteful, very creative, and unique pieces. But most of all we encourage designers that are truly passionate about fashion.

Bomopregha Julius
