Restoring Hope Tote

---

Abstract

At Columbia College Chicago collaboration is at the core of our curriculum. By integrating service learning experiences into the curriculum, students from CCC’s Fashion Studies Department (Fashion Business and Fashion Design) are given opportunities to engage in meaningful involvement, which makes for deeper connections within their community and disciplines. Last spring, one such organization Re:new, a local not for profit agency that provides training and employment opportunities to refugee women living in the Chicago area became a partner with both Fashion Business and Fashion Design students.

Keywords: sustainability, service learning, design
