Mission Statement
"The Box, the name created for the container by students, is a pop-up shop hosted by the students of the fashion department several times a semester. Students plan events, create products, market their products, decorate the store, meet with brands and then volunteer their time to sell products to anybody on the OCC campus willing to stop and take a look. The Box gives students an opportunity to experience what it’s like running their own storefront." - Sedona Harris, The Coast Report.
