Special Events

  • Sweats for Survivors 2/16 through 3/2

    Leading up to Sexual Assault Awareness Month this April, the Violence Against Women Prevention Program (VAWPP) will be running a clothing drive from Friday, February 16th-Friday, March 2nd. VAWPP will be collecting new/gently used sweatpants & sweatshirts, new warm socks, and snacks, all of which will be donated to the Sexual Assault Crisis Center of Eastern Connecticut. These donations are intended to provide victim-survivors with clothing after a sexual assault forensic exam because many times clothing is taken as a part of evidence collection kits. Your contributions are greatly appreciated. 

     

    Donations can be dropped off at the following locations: 

    Alumni (Watson)  

    Garrigus (Main Lobby) 

    Husky Village (Pi Phi House)  

    McMahon (Main Lobby) 

    NextGen (Main Lobby)
