The DUMP is Sept. 18
September 11th, 2025
Watch out for The DUMP on Thursday, Sept. 18! Come to the Upper Atrium for a FREE School Supply Giveaway! Faculty member Jessica Lim spearheaded a pilot last term to give away supplies. It was, with little surprise, a resounding success.
This year the Financial Aid Office, the Office of Sustainability, Jessica and others have teamed up to make it an even bigger event! We have the regular stuff, like binders and pencils, BUT we also have art supplies, notebooks, and random other materials that could be useful!
Tell your students to bring a tote bag that day so they fill up while saving money, repurposing, reusing, and upcycling. Sustainability, Mutual Aid, and Compassion all in one stop, what could be better?
