Office of Sustainability, Concordia University

Help the Concordia University Centre for Creative Reuse (CUCCR) launch a successful first week back this September 10th! This amazing space on campus provides art and home supplies for community members for free, but they need volunteers to help display items, show clientele around the space, and sort what's available. Drop in for a one-time shift, or join us in the space weekly. Complete more that 10 hours with any of the campus sustainability locations in our Sustainability Volunteer Program and get notice on your Co-Curricular Record. https://cerv.is/0034x5 #Reuse #SustainablePractice #SustainableVolunteering

In a brief retrospective, we would like to mention again the "17 Stations" exhibition hosted by 4TH SPACE Concordia University. What is the sound of sustainability, and how can virtual reality or gamification be used to address climate change? Featuring jazz music, commentary, photography, local stories, and cutting-edge science, the exhibition focused on the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) of the United Nations. Professor Baron Tymas of Concordia University's Music Department and the Next-Generation Cities Institute Cluster Co-Director brought together these projects to highlight creative approaches to the UN's SDGs. Diverse fields were merged to create an impactful narrative that resonated with a broad audience. You can view the video of the event here: https://lnkd.in/ed_MXjJM

Donate your gently used clothes to the first Professional Clothing Pop-Up and help ensure students are well-dressed for their internships: Do you own any professional clothing you no longer need? Are you looking for a meaningful way to clean out your closet? Do you want to support Institute students looking to build their professional wardrobes in an affordable and sustainable way ahead of interviews, internships and networking events? The Institute for Co-operative Education is accepting donations of gently used professional clothing (such as suit jackets/blazers, slacks, shirts/blouses, dresses and more) to make available to Institute students for free during our first ever Professional Clothing Pop-Up in late August. Donations may be dropped off in-person until August 16, 2024 at the reception of the Institute for Co-operative Education on the 4th floor of the GM building (1550 de Maisonneuve Blvd. West) on the downtown campus during office hours.   https://lnkd.in/dX-ED9EW

#CUalumni Farah Armouch, MSc 23, was live with CTV News anchor Caroline van Vlaardingen, BA 84, sharing new research from Concordia University on clothing swaps, the growing trend in the fashion industry among 18 to 35-year-olds. "Swapping closets is almost a way of being able to shop without the price tag," shares Economics professor Moshe Lander. Through 279 interviews, they found that four significant motivators have young people swapping clothes on a large scale globally. 👉 Alumna and reporter Rachel Lau, BA 13, has the full story: https://lnkd.in/e7rmkzQV #Sustainability #FastFashion #ClothingSwap
