Eva Bergloff '26
New2U Thrift Store Store Manager
Class of 2026
Major: Sustainable Community Development
As a Sust Comm student, Eva has learned how to transform public spaces through community & economic development. She has applied this background in a real-world setting as both a former Sustainability Fellow and current New2U Thrift Store Manager. Eva developed the operations manual and business plan for the thrift store and planned the layout for the storefront. She is passionate about the integration of art and music in public spaces and is excited to bring that perspective to the storefront by crafting a welcoming place for all store visitors to enjoy. Beyond waste-diversion, Eva envisions New2U Thrift as a gathering place for students to learn and grow, and to create a stronger sense of community and connectivity around circularity and reuse within the larger UMass ecosystem.
