End of Spring Semester Collections

Starting at the end of Spring Semester 2009, the Campus Sustainability Advisory Committee with support from the Housing and Residential Life Office sponsored a collection of clothing, shoes, and food.  Students preparing to move back home for the summer usually have many items they don't want to take with them.  Instead of just throwing these things into the garbage, CSAC thought it would benefit others if those items became donations instead of extra items in a dumpster.

During Closing Week of 2009, 3,500 pounds of clothing and shoes and 6,000 pounds of food were collected.

During Closing Week of 2010, 1,380 pounds of clothing and shoes and 6,500 pounds of food were collected.

During Closing Week of 2011, 2,228 pounds of clothing and shoes were collected.

During Closing Week of 2012, 3,575 pounds of clothing and shoes were collected.
