Month: October 2017

As owned by Estee Lauder, Clinique, a brand known for fragrances and make up, is moving out to secure 100% that no animal testing will be done. The brand has worked with Estee Lauder to ensure that both corporations will benefit in the long run of this, and possibly both one day be animal testing free. Clinique is working towards becoming the most widely known “green” fragrance and makeup company in the nation, and is successfully doing so.

Clinique would like to publicly apologize for any previous confusion on our known statement “Allergy Tested. 100% Fragrance Free.” as we have found that to the unseen eye this can look like a statement of no animal cruelty. The brand would also like to ensure to customers that animal testing was only done when required by law.

We would like to notify customers that with our new changes some of our products will also be changing. As previously stated by PETA our Clinique eye cream will no longer be available. Instead, a new and improved cream will be released January 2018 containing ZERO products that require animal testing by law. Since ingredients of products are changing, so are prices; more quality for a bit more quantity. Average prices for each changing product will be an additional $2. We would like to encourage customers to look at this change as positively green as possible, as we are helping to change the environment one product at a time.

Animal testing has always been done to ensure that consumers would not react negatively to any sort of product offered by a brand. Poisoning and killing has never been something that Clinique or Estee Lauder have taken lightly and this also goes in to affect with why changing up products to ensure no further testing is done is coming on strong and fast.

For more information about product changes, new names of said products, or ingredients please visit us at https://www.clinique.com. You can also reach our marketing manager, Kaylee White at kmwhite@iastate.edu.

As a senior in college, I can thoroughly attest that getting a cheap meal is the highlight of my week. A local favorite, Fuji, does just that Monday through Saturday from 11-2. Fuji has implemented a lunch special in hopes to attract a younger crowd, get them hooked with a cheap meal, and keep their attention long enough to return to their restaurant.

When speaking to the manager of Fuji, she stated that it is their main goal to attract young people with a special and then keep their attention with their excellent service and great food. She then went on to say that from personal experience and from also looking at what other local restaurants have done, have a special of some sort can do just that. The menu for their special is a little smaller than the normal menu, but the options for $7.99 hibachi are: chicken, vegetable, steak, and shrimp, which from what the manager and chefs told me are the most popular items on the menu to begin with.

In a perfect world, marketing in such a way would work for every local Ames restaurant, but that is not the case. Often times businesses in college towns (The Other Place) don’t last simply because students are there nine months out of the year and then the remainder of the time it is a ghost town. Students broadening their horizons and trying new places, then voicing to community members, family members, and friends what they like about certain places can be just the difference

Iowa State University students gained a bundle of hands-on experience last week prior to the third annual Networking Workshop Jumpstart Career Fair for journalism and communication majors in the Greenlee School at Iowa State. The event took place in the universities Memorial Union where employers came to meet with prospective students to discuss potential internship and employment options. Prepare for the Fair was a new event this year that helped to better prepare students for networking events such as this with practicing elevator speeches that many students are unaware of even existing,  looking at employers that will be at the fair, planning out a business outfit, and plenty of other exercises that can help raise the rate of success when approaching an employer at the career fair. 

This workshop for preparation is something that I believe all colleges should put in to account when getting students ready for the career fair. “As an Iowa State student, I take advantage of every opportunity I can to get my face and name out there so I am known around campus and seen as a hardworking individual,” -Danae Dabney (Journalism ’19).

Other opportunities for Prepare for the Fair can be expected to be implemented for upcoming semesters, including new activities that can come from suggestions from students, faculty, or employers. Suggestions can be taken in the admissions office at Iowa State University, or at kmwhite@iastate.edu.
