A day filled student engagement on the importance of being an ethical student.

Break free. Seek help. Substance abuse and misconduct is illegal.

Student Affairs is launching the Residence Starter Pack Initiative, a compassionate effort to support first-year students who arrive at our residences with limited resources. For many of these young people, the first weeks in res can be overwhelming, not only academically but also in terms of basic household essentials.



We kindly invite you, our dedicated staff members, as well as our students, to donate gently used items that are still in good, working condition. Specifically, we are in need of pots, irons, kettles, cutlery (spoons, forks, knives) and dishes (plates, bowls, cups).

These small but essential items will help deserving first-year students settle in with dignity and a sense of belonging. Your unused kitchenware could become the very thing that makes a student feel at home.
