Dillon&＃160;Eisman, who starts at Olin in the fall, was one of 15 high school students from around the country to receive the&＃160;Diller Teen Tikkun Olam Award, first bestowed in 2007 to recognize&＃160;leadership and social outreach among Jewish teens. The Hebrew phrase &＃8220;tikkun olam&＃8221; means &＃8220;repairing the world.&＃8221; Eisman, from Malibu, Calif., founded&＃160;Sew Swag&＃160;to update used clothing and provide it to older teens and younger adults living in shelters &＃8212; work he began at age 14 and work that required him to teach himself to sew. According to a story about Eisman in&＃160;The Orange County Register, the idea grew from a tour he took of a nearby shelter for&＃160;LGBTQ after he founded the gay-straight alliance at his high school. &＃8220;The fact that these kids don&＃8217;t have that simple pleasure upset me,&＃8221; he told the&＃160;Register. &＃8220;One of them said they hadn&＃8217;t had a jacket in like six months. It&＃8217;s not something you think about, someone my own age who is freezing at night because they don&＃8217;t have a jacket. It was heartbreaking.&＃8221; Eisman told the&＃160;Register&＃160;that because he has a full tuition merit scholarship at WashU, he&＃8217;ll apply his Diller award toward supporting Sew Swag.
