"Starting a company with a social mission was always important to Rachel Weeks. She launched School House, which manufactures fashion forward college-branded clothing, while she was in Sri Lanka on a Fulbright Grant, and insisted that the factory pay its female workers livable wages. Weeks no longer manufactures in Sri Lanka, but she still has a social mission, and it involves a commitment to manufacturing right in her own backyard...'We’re rebranding “Made in the USA” for a new generation.'"

clothing company specializing in collegiate apparel, was a passion of hers since
her time as an undergraduate at Duke University, but her journey was anything
but simple."
