Patricia Garcia: A Spirit of Determination Sparks Affordable University Apparel

Patricia Garcia: A Spirit of Determination Sparks Affordable University Apparel
Patricia: Thanks so much for having me, Spiffy. The goal of "college thrifts" is to create more inclusive and sustainable institutions of higher education by supporting economic development and creating mentorship opportunities amongst college students. Overall, we want to raise awareness about the environmental impact of wasteful practices at the college level, and also provide a platform for students to feel part of their college communities. We believe it is our responsibility to spark sustainable consumption behavior and do our share to make the world a better place.

We’ve got your back! Wharton Students Launch Initiative for Healthcare Workers

We’ve got your back! Wharton Students Launch Initiative for Healthcare Workers

I interview a doctor about his and his batchmates' initiative for healthcare workers...

Thanks for this interview, Spiffy! This is an initiative started by the Wharton student community to provide personal protective equipment (PPE) for frontline health care workers. Our doctors, nurses, technologists, environmental services, EVERYONE helping to take care of patients don’t have the necessary masks, face shields, gowns, or gloves to do their jobs safely. This is completely unacceptable.
