Suhitha Sreedhar

Thrift Den Intern

Office of Sustainability

Suhitha Sreedhar is a sophomore at UConn majoring in Management with a concentration in Entrepreneurship. She is a strong advocate for sustainability and waste management and firmly believes in the saying “The world has enough for everyone’s needs, but not everyone’s greed.” She is also minoring in Social Responsibility and Impact in Business, striving to integrate ethical and sustainable practices into everyday business operations.

She co-founded Thrift Den, UConn’s student-run free thrift store, to make sustainable fashion more accessible while reducing waste. Growing up in India, she witnessed firsthand how post-consumer waste often ended up in landfills due to careless consumption habits. It wasn’t until she moved to the U.S. for college that she fully grasped the global scale of the issue and the importance of responsible fashion choices. At Thrift Den, she majorly contributes to the communications and social media aspect, merging her passion for fashion and sustainability with her interest in marketing.

Beyond Thrift Den, Suhitha serves as the Vice President of The Women’s Network (UConn Chapter), fostering a supportive community for students seeking professional growth across various industries. She hopes to continue driving change by encouraging responsible business practices and promoting a circular economy.
