The biennial "Salute to Retail" raises funds for student scholarships and the Merchandising Star Awards Endowment in the UH College of Technology’s Department of Human Development and Consumer Sciences. The department’s Retailing and Consumer Science program will honor members of the retail community -- both UH alumni and friends -- for their contributions to the industry during the luncheon event, November 17 at River Oaks Country Club.
All proceeds from the event will benefit the Merchandising Star Awards Endowment, established in 2004 to provide funds for retailing and consumer science undergraduate and graduate scholarships, continuing education programs, program and student enrichment and the expansion of the first online merchandising degree in the nation.
