The first national meeting of textile and clothing professors took place in Madison, Wisconsin in June 1959. With a mission to advance excellence in education, scholarship and innovation, and their global applications, the International Textile and Apparel Association (ITAA) is a professional and educational association of scholars, educators, and students in the textile, apparel, and merchandising disciplines in higher education.

Abstract
Many Fashion, Textile and Clothing (FTC) programs are exploring or reaffirming the commitment of the discipline to supporting sustainable consumption and fostering the development of their students as ethical professionals capable of valuing sustainability in their professional decision-making. At the same time, national policy is focusing education on supporting economic development and technological innovation by turning out students qualified for science, technology, engineering and math (STEM) careers.
