BOONE, N.C. — Students in Appalachian State University’s chapter of United Students Against Sweatshops (USAS) worked with the University Bookstore and Office of Sustainability in spring 2018 to offer a line of collegiate apparel made by Alta Gracia, a Dominican Republic company known for offering its employees a safe, healthy workplace and a living wage. The apparel is now being sold in the University Bookstore and reflects Appalachian’s commitment to sustainability, said Dr. Lee F. Ball Jr., chief sustainability officer at Appalachian. In addition, 100 percent of Appalachian’s academic departments offer at least one sustainability course or course that includes sustainability, and all students graduate from programs that have adopted at least one sustainability learning outcome.
