The Office of Sustainability participated in the Terp to Terp Open Shop put on by Reslife on March 8th. Many students flocked to Harford Hall on the warm Friday for an opportunity to find free articles of clothing that past students donated.
Terp to Terp Open Shop serves as a time to reintegrate clothing that students have donated back into the campus community. Some of the items found at the event were jeans, shoes, jackets, costumes, sweaters, and more.
The Office of Sustainability participated by hosting a keychain-making event. T-shirts were upcycled by being cut into strips, attached to a keyring, and then woven into a design whether it be a standard braid, fishtail, or spiral knot. Students enjoyed finding clothes and designing keychains, therefore, making the Open Shop a successful effort of providing clothing a second life.
