CBEY’s Moving the Needle Series looks at what sustainable fashion means and explores the connections and conversations happening among people working in fashion who want to see real change for the better...in materials, policy, workers' rights, entrepreneurship, and beyond. It also aims to help students see what potential careers exist in this field.

We do this by creating events and resources that serve to inform, connect and support students and others who are interested in this space want to learn more.
