The Center for Advocacy and Student Experience hosted the spring Rocket Thrift Shop, an event for students to “shop” for free, gently used clothing, shoes, housewares and other items, Tuesday in Thompson Student Union Ingman Room.

Francesca Holmes, a junior studying medical laboratory science, hands a jacket to her friend, Nathaniel Williams, a junior studying art history and visual arts, to try on while the pair shopped.
