On day two of week two students visited the offices, where they were introduced to Kristie Dash (Head of Beauty Partnerships), Helena Suric, (Leader of Fashion & Beauty Creator Partnerships), and Elisa Benson (Lifestyle & Media Programs). ⁠

They spoke about the three pillars of what she believes Beauty Partnerships means at Instagram: Education, Product, and Cultural Moments.

"As soon as I saw that Newhouse NYC had a Maymester course that covered all things fashion and beauty, I knew I needed to take advantage of the opportunity! We've been able to view the fashion and beauty industry through all forms of communication, which has been such an amazing learning experience. One important lesson I've learned so far is not to disregard your unique hobbies; they should complement your career path, not come second. I can't wait to continue to growing all the connections I've made with new friends and professionals over these two weeks!"
