TOWN HALL:

Glasgow Caledonian University New York continues its inaugural Town Hall Series: Fashion Sharing Progress – intimate conversations among leaders and leading companies that spotlight the developments and opportunities of the fashion industry in their collective effort to advance sustainability, minimize ecological impact, and promote corporate social responsibility. Join us Monday, July 21st at 6pm, as Cara Chacon, Patagonia’s Director of Social and Environmental Responsibility, joins Kevin Cassidy, from the International Labour Organization Office for the United Nations, and Scott Hahn, co-founder of Rogan and Loomstate, in an engaging conversation on the stage of our SoHo campus at 64 Wooster St. RSVP to gcunyc@bpcm.com. With more than 17,000 students from over 100 countries, Glasgow Caledonian University is one of the UK’s most dynamic and diverse institutions, and the first to launch a NYC campus. Underpinning GCU’s wide range of activities is its deep-rooted social conscience and commitment to the ‘common good’ enshrined in its old Scots motto ‘For the Common Weal (Good)’. This commitment is manifested through the University’s community outreach programs around the world, and will be an important feature of GCU’s presence in New York City.
