Donation/Collection Drive Policy
Kirby Student Center supports UMD student organizations and departments that wish to hold a donation drive for a charitable cause or collect items to be recycled. UMD student organizations and departments requesting to hold a drive and place a bin in Kirby Student Center need to complete a Donation Drive Request Form found on Bulldog Connect https://duluthumn.campusgroups.com/home_login at least 48 hours in advance of the start date (requests are not reviewed on the weekend). A request is not approved until the group receives a confirmation from Kirby Student Center.
Guidelines:
- Kirby allows for two drives, by two different groups, to take place at once
- Each drive must have a start and end date, not to exceed 2 weeks (the drive can be extended by submitting another request for approval, and if space is available)
- One bin per group per drive, provided by student organization/department
- Bins must include a sign that indicates: name of student organization or department, name of charitable organization, items to be collected, and the start/end date
- Bins will be placed near the Kirby Welcome Desk during academic year
- Groups are responsible for checking the bin and emptying it regularly
- Kirby Student Center is not responsible for items collected
- Items cannot spill over onto the floor
- Student organizations must include the donation drive in Bulldog Connect
- Groups are responsible for setting up and removing bin in accordance with their approved drive dates
