Get ready, Greyhounds, and mark your calendars for some upcoming events here at the University of Indianapolis!
One of these events is the ongoing food pantry on campus. The food pantry offers non-perishable food items for students and faculty. A permanent location has not yet been determined, as this is an ongoing event, but the temporary location is the University Heights United Methodist Church, 4002 Otterbein Avenue.
Donations are needed for this pantry, including numerous non-perishable items that are needed for the pantry. Food can be donated on campus on Thursdays at the University Heights United Methodist Church, as well as the Schwitzer Student Center. To learn more, visit uindy.edu/inclusion/pantry.
Similar to the food pantry, the UIndy School of Nursing is partnering with Beggars for the Poor to hold a collection of various items for Indianapolis’ homeless community. Items being collected include winter clothing, meals and hygiene items. The end date for this event is fast approaching, as the last day to donate items is Nov. 20. There are various places on campus where you can make your donations, such as the Health Pavilion, Schwitzer Student Center and Krannert Memorial Library.
And last but certainly not least, in order to get you in the holiday spirit, UIndy’s very own and beloved Smith Mall Tree Lighting, presented by UIndy PD, Student Affairs and Wonderly Lights, will be taking place on Dec. 2 at 6 p.m. This is a popular event here at UIndy, as well as being a Lecture Performance Credit approved event. This is a great opportunity to get together with friends and staff to witness something beautiful on the UIndy campus.
Your involvement in UIndy’s events is never overlooked and is always appreciated by staff, students and the city of Indianapolis. Be sure to tune in to these on-campus drives and events this semester!
