The
Michigan
Fashion

Media Summit held its annual

conference on Thursday via Zoom

webinar. MFMS had rescheduled

their original in-person event as a

result of the COVID-19 pandemic.

The student-run group was

set to host more than 650 people

at the Ross School of Business

featuring 16 speakers on March

20. Thursday afternoon’s webinar

hosted Caroline Gogolak, vice

president of retail at SoulCycle

and co-founder of Carbon38, and

Tenley Zinke, vice president of

marketing and communications

at Fendi Americas. Amy Tara

Koch, an author, journalist and

U-M alum, moderated the event.

Gogolak said her interest in

fashion was spurred from a class

she took at Parsons School of

Design. After working at Morgan

Stanley
and
Goldman
Sachs,

she co-founded the company

Carbon38, a luxury activewear

lifestyle brand. Gogolak joined

SoulCycle in 2017 after falling in

love with the brand.

“I thought that retail, although

it was a somewhat small business

at that point, had an opportunity

to grow,” Gogolak said. “It also

enabled me to really continue

to just operate and learn more

in a retail business and also

learn about brick and mortar

since most of my business, most

of my background had been in

e-commerce. SoulCycle has just

under 100 locations, so I knew I

would quickly learn that side.”

Gogolak
oversees

merchandising,
planning,

allocation, product development,

supply chain and e-commerce

at SoulCycle. She described how

she is adapting to the current

COVID-19 climate.

LSA freshman Ishi Shukla

felt lucky to have had her

Biology 173 lab section earlier

than others. Her group had

finished the wet lab portion of

an assignment to examine their

own fecal matter before other

sections later that day.

So
when
the
University

of Michigan announced the

suspension of in-person classes

on
March
11,
Shukla
and

her classmates had the data

they needed to complete the

assignment. Others did not.

“For other lab sections of

(Bio 173), it was definitely more

tricky,” Shukla said. “Honestly,

shout out to all the professors

who have had to put in all this

extra time to get classes in this

type of virtual mode because

they only had two days to do it.

It’s pretty impressive.”

As a result of transitioning

classes to online platforms, lab

courses have been faced with

the challenge of administering

the physical components of

their curricula virtually. In

an email to The Michigan

Daily, Tim McKay, physics,

astronomy
and
education

professor and LSA associate

dean
for
undergraduate

education, explained how the

University is adjusting to these

changes.

According to McKay, there

are a variety of approaches

among lab courses. The most

common
is
for
graduate

students
to
perform
labs

through video presentations

and then for students to analyze

the
data
produced.
McKay

gave Ginger Shultz, assistant

professor of chemistry, as an

example: With less than a week

to move her Chemistry 211

course online, Shultz and three

graduate
students
recorded

four weeks of experiments in

one day for her 771 students.
