Moving 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. The best part? By participating you are helping others and the planet too. Last year over 30,000 pounds of goods was collected. Your efforts make a difference!
Click on the headings of both programs below for the flyers. Please help spread the word.
