Getting ready to move out? Do you have unwanted stuff in your dorm room that you want to get rid of? Don’t trash it; donate it instead! The University offers two programs to get rid of your items in a responsible way. Last year we collected 17,429 lbs. of clothing, 2,379 lbs. of food, 1,184 lbs. of electronics, and 1,341 lbs. of other goods! The best part? By participating you are helping others in need and the planet too! Please spread the word!
