SUMMER 2017 – EILEEN FISHER Company Summer Internship for SOM and SLIS Graduate Students
The EILEEN FISHER company is a world leader in advancing ideas around sustainability and social consciousness with fashion as a business lens. “Our vision is for an industry where human rights and sustainability are not the effect of a particular initiative, but the cause of a business well run. Where social and environmental injustices are not unfortunate outcomes, but reasons to do things differently” (http://www.eileenfisher.com/c
