Eli Exchange

In an effort to encourage reuse, each residential college has an Eli Exchange Bin meant for swapping clothes and other items. Students can donate unwanted clothes as well as take something they like. In addition, campus-wide clothes swap events also draw crowds and encourage the philosophy of reuse. Swapping is the new shopping!
