In partnership with UPD, Criminal Justice Club, and Civic Engagement we have created a Day of Giving program to help all our students. This program will take place from 4/14-4/30.  If you currently have an outstanding parking ticket you can drop off a minimum donation of $10 of non-perishable, not-expired food items or unopened, not expired hygiene items at the Criminal Justice Club suite 411 or Global Engagement and Civic Wellbeing suite 416 in the SLC during posted hours and provide the workers with your name and 800# for identification of your ticket. Donations can only be made to CJ Club, NOT at the University Police office. You can have ONE previously issued parking ticket dismissed. This will benefit the Community Needs Hub for students. 

Kick off finals week with Midnight Breakfast served by your faculty & staff on Sunday, May 4 from 10PM-12AM in the Terrace, CDH. This is the time to wear your cozy PJ's to the Terrace and take a quick break from studying and enjoy a meal & conversations with friends and professionals. This breakfast is meant to help you relax and destress from finals. If you have a meal plan it will be one meal swipe; however, if you do not, you are still welcome as you will get a meal voucher!
