Although winter is still a few months away, temperatures are already starting to drop at night and New England weather is often unpredictable. For many of our international students, this will be their first experience with cold weather and we want them to be prepared. To help our students stay warm and comfortable, The Center for International Students and Scholars (CISS) has organized a Winter Coat Drive.
We are collecting new or gently used winter outerwear—coats, jackets, gloves, mittens, scarves, hats, and earmuffs—to distribute to international students prior to winter break and the beginning of the Spring semester.
Drop-off Details:
- Dates: Now through October 2, 2026
- Time: Monday–Friday, 9:00 AM – 4:00 PM
- Location: CISS Office, 2019 Hillside Road
Your generosity will make a big difference for students adjusting to New England winters. Thank you for your support!
