It has come to the attention to the fashion design class of 2015 that the appointment of Professor Long-Nam's faculty position has significantly improved the program's curriculum. Through his strict rigor and keen sense of style, he enables students to push beyond their limitations and produce more than what they may think capable. His experience in the European fashion industry from international fashion houses such as Gucci, Givenchy, and Valentino as well as his own collection, and his prestigious European higher education has morphed him into a key figure that is familiar with the standards of today's competitive fashion industry. These are characteristics that are highly sought in a professor that can aid students to succeed with their future fashion careers.

The fashion design class of 2014 has also previously voiced their desire for Long-Nam to be their senior thesis professor, and with enough student body support and determination, were capable of altering the decisions of faculty and administration.

By signing this petition, I acknowledge my support for Professor Tô Long-Nam Nguyen to instruct the senior thesis fashion design class of 2015.
