As winter settles in across Connecticut, many international students experience cold weather for the first time. 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 gently used winter clothing—coats, jackets, gloves, mittens, scarves, hats, and earmuffs—to distribute to international students during winter break and the beginning of the Spring semester.
Drop-off Details:
- Dates: Now through January 10, 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!
