Get ready for an exciting and unforgettable Thrift Market to wrap up the semester!

The Buy/Swap/Sell Thrift Market is a chance to buy, swap, or sell pre-loved items with your fellow students, all while supporting sustainable fashion and reducing waste. For those with an entrepreneurial spirit, why not set up your very own stall and showcase your goods? It’s the perfect way to gain hands-on experience, meet new people, and maybe even launch your small business!

Expect a full street-market vibe complete with delicious food, music, and bustling stalls. Plus, we’re hosting a Repair Café where you can bring your clothes and get them mended for free—because sustainable fashion should last!

🗓️ Date: Friday, November 22nd
