Flyer Time: Clothing swap

Outside on a newly crisp fall day, the rustle of fabrics and clinking of hangers drew students under a tent to peruse pre-loved garments at a Clothing Swap hosted by the Hanley Sustainability Institute. 

The event was a personal project from Zay Min Htike, a sophomore finance and business analytics major.

Htike is a member of Hanleys Sustainability Student Leaders Programan experiential learning program open to undergraduates who want to make UDcampus more sustainable.

Fast fashion is huge with college students and has such a negative impact on the environment. I wanted to inspire UD students to recycle and reuse their clothing,” Htike said. I wanted the event to be free for everyone making it engaging, accessible and affordable, all while fostering a culture of sustainability.”
