The dropping temperatures are especially cold for our newest students unused to Minnesota’s quickly changing seasons. Because most international students arrive from warm-weather countries, they have no cold-weather clothing to bring with them. International Student and Scholar Affairs (ISSA) is collecting warm-winter gear in good, usable condition for our international students. Along with winter coats, most needed are hats, scarves, neck gaiters, gloves, mittens, boots, sweaters, and sweatshirts. Adult sizes only, specifically:
– Men’s: medium or large; boots sized 9 (one sized 10.5, one sized 11.5/12)
– Women: one medium, one large; boots sized 7
You may bring your donations to Student Affairs in Bockman 249 or leave them in the tub outside the office. No additional clothing is being accepted at this time. Any items not used by our community will be donated locally to those in need. Questions? Contact Stanley Ayashim, Residential Life Coordinator, or Chenar Howard, ISSA Director. Thank you!
