The glass door closes behind me as I enter the empty community room of a Belmont dormitory. I take a seat at the round wooden table in the corner of the room, waiting anxiously to meet Belmont’s biggest celebrity.

  With a Jack Kerouac inspired name, Warby Parker possesses a vintage-inspired fashion sense, a strong global awareness and a desire to make the world a better place.
