Tartan Trade-Up Tuesday

Alumni House
Clear out something you don’t use and help someone who will. During two Tartan Tuesdays in February, CR2ZW is collaborating with the Alumni Association. Bring one clean, usable donation item and earn extra Tartan Points. Accepted donations include clothing, books, dorm essentials, office supplies — if someone else can use it, it’s welcome. All donations support CMU’s thrift and reuse programs.
