Edun Live on Campus was created in the fall of 2006 through a partnership between Miami University and EDUN LIVE. The intent of this partnership was to bring EDUN LIVE to college campuses with the goal of educating students on the importance of being a socially conscious consumer. The original team consisted of 15 college students and a faculty advisor who were to develop a business model, create a business plan, and increase attention about the program. ELOC is a company run by students for students, selling EDUN LIVE t-shirts, while alerting your social conscience. The students carry out all aspects of the business from the t-shirts to the graphics to the screen printing. This movement has spread to Ohio University, Gonzaga University, Simmons University and Tuft’s University and is continuing to extend worldwide. The student-run group buys blank T-shirts made in Africa with African-grown cotton, put logos on them to raise awareness of social issues, and sell them to campus organizations and other groups.
Famous quotes containing the word live:
“I live in the angle of a leaden wall, into whose composition was poured a little alloy of bell-metal. Often, in the repose of my mid-day, there reaches my ears a confused tintinnabulum from without. It is the noise of my contemporaries.”
—Henry David Thoreau (18171862)
