Abstract

Rummaging through the racks, hanger after hanger offers style at a price you can’t beat—free. Here on the third floor of the Law School, the Faculty Conference Room has been transformed into a makeshift storefront. Dresses, suits, dress shirts, sweaters, and more hang from three racks of donated clothing. Each piece already has its own history, but thanks to the generosity of faculty, staff, alumni, and even friends, law students have the opportunity to create their own in donated designer threads.

The Career Services Office Boutique is an annual event that matches clothing some no longer need to students who do.

“When I lived in Washington, D.C., my friends and I would have a clothing swap every year,” said Dean of Students Anne McFadden. “It was an Earth-friendly way of passing things along, and for 15 years we loved doing it. So when I came to the Law School I thought the idea would translate well for our students.”
