Giving Clothing a Second Life: Donate to the AmeriCorps/CSE Thrift Fair

By Faculty and Staff, Students

The Center for Sustainability and the Environment (CSE) will be hosting the annual Thrift Fair next semester, in partnership with Albion College AmeriCorps. We are currently looking for gently used, clean clothes with no rips or stains. Donating used clothes you no longer wear is a great way to keep clothing out of landfills and promote sustainable fashion.

We will be collecting donations November 29 and 30 from 1 p.m. to 4 p.m. and January 18 and 19 from 1 p.m. to 4 p.m. on the first floor of the KC. The proceeds made from this event will go towards the CSE Green Fund and Albion community organizations.

If you have any questions please feel free to contact:

“The Creation” FURSCA project

By Faculty and Staff, Students

Looking for volunteers to be part of a FURSCA research project! The goal to this research project is to bring awareness of the Latino community to Albion and Albion College. It specifically concentrates on what it’s like to grow up with two different cultures and how it can impact our identity based on family, friends and societal expectations. This project is also artistic, so there is a portrait section and possibly a SFX (special effects) makeup section. You are not required to speak Spanish to participate and you don’t have to be a student, anyone can participate as long as you are over 18+ and part of the Latino community. Please email Dulce Martinez at ddm12@albion.edu if you are interested in participating.
