The University of Colorado Boulder Staff Council (BCSC) is kicking off the new academic year with a series of events and drives for the CU-Boulder community. Join in for opportunities to donate school supplies, give blood, eat ice cream and learn more about the campus community.
Now through Sept. 13, BCSC is leading a Crayons to Calculators school supply drive. Collection sites include: ARC, Smoley Biotech ChBE office, Environmental Design, Education, JILA, ATLAS, Business School S315, Police/Parking, Stadium Fac Man Service Desk, Wolf Law 326, and the 3rd floor of RL2.
