Suhitha Sreedhar, Co-Founder of the Thrift Den, to Represent School of Business at U.N. Climate Conference | Global Affairs | Office of the Provost

“I grew up in a culture that didn’t have a focus on recycling or sustainability, so it has become my mission.”

Representatives from around the world will descend upon Antalya, Turkey, next month to discuss one of the most complex and important issues facing our world—climate change.

Suhitha Sreedhar, a senior in the School of Business, will get a front-row seat to those conversations. She is one of the UConn delegates who will attend the United Nation’s Conference of Parties (COP), an annual symposium held this year from Nov. 9 to 20.

Sreedhar, a management major with a minor in social responsibility and impact in business, is excited for the trip, seeing this as a culmination of her work at UConn and a boost to her future aspirations.

“My dream is to run a company that creates responsible supply chains for fashion companies all over the world,’’ Sreedhar said. “I grew up in a culture that didn’t have a focus on recycling or sustainability, so it has become my mission.”
