THERE HAS NEVER BEEN AN EVENT THAT HAS BEEN LIKE THIS AT ALL. THERE’S NEVER THE LIBRARY HAS NEVER HOSTED A FASHION SHOW. SO THIS IS SOMETHING UNLIKE ANYTHING ELSE. THE PARTNERSHIPS THAT ODESA HAS WITHIN THE COMMUNITY AT LARGE IN MILWAUKEE IS REALLY BUILDING FOUNDATIONAL COMMUNITY RELATIONSHIPS AND REALLY SETTING THE FOUNDATION TO BUILD A CIRCULAR ECONOMY HERE, PROPELLING STUDENTS AS WELL AS THE FACULTY TO REALLY BUILD SOMETHING BEAUTIFUL HERE IN MILWAUKEE.
