SLCC Fashion Institute Helps Kids with Cancer

Salt Lake Community College’s Fashion Institute participated in a Holiday Stocking event that raised more than $12,000 for children with cancer. The College received an award for being “The Most Generous School” donating 110 stuffed stockings.

“In a given month there are about 400 children up at Primary Children’s Hospital and Huntsman Cancer Institute being treated for cancer,” said Julie Wissler, Founder and President of Helping Kids with Cancer. This event helps provide monetary support for everyday items—such as gas cards and toys—to those children and their families. “You kind of brighten their day. You give them something to do that takes their minds off cancer for just a moment, they’re not worried about cancer, they’re just a kid.”

Students from the Fashion Institute donated stockings they designed and created to be auctioned at an event benefiting the Helping with Kids with Cancer organization.

Cancer is the leading cause of death by disease among U.S. children between the ages of 1 and 14. Helping Kids with Cancer is a non-profit organization. The organization provided more than 300 stockings to children in addition to the financial assistance.

The Distinguished Faculty Lecturer is a recognition of quality work by one of Salt Lake Community College’s full-time faculty and a charge to develop that work over an academic year into a public presentation. A committee chosen by the Associate Provost for Learning Advancement selects the faculty lecturer each year. The lecture takes place in the spring. Distinguished Faculty Lecturer Andrew Vogt, PhD Associate Professor, Engineering Dr. Andrew Vogt’s teaching philosophy is guided by two principles, curiosity and efficiency. “Curiosity leads us to study a topic and allows us to really understand the ins and outs of research, while efficiency is all about sustainability,” he says. Andrew describes curiosity as a pure, open-minded impulse to explore, such as the ease with which children learn new concepts with virtually no instruction. Efficiency adds maturity to that childlike impulse, creating structures and pathways for accomplishment. Andrew’s work has alwa...
