Fair Trade DePaul University

Welcome! The DePaul Fair Trade Committee was formed in 2012 when a group of dedicated students worked with Chicago Fair Trade to make DePaul the first Fair Trade University in Chicago. Since then, the committee aims to increase awareness about the atrocities of the current system of trade among college students and community members. We host yearly events, such as our Fair Trade Fashion show that allow us to work with fair trade and sustainable businesses in Chicago. We look forward to continuing to advocate for workers and the environment through our work on campus.
