Events

At the end of every academic year, students throw away hundreds of goods that could be donated. Old clothes, furniture, decorations, towels, bedding and other necessities - we are providing students with the opportunity to donate their belongings during two, week-long events.

Do you want to be up-to-date on what UCCS is doing to further sustainability on campus? This 3rd Annual Sustainability Summit provides the means to find out and to connect with others on campus doing innovative and engaging projects and programs.

The University adopted a segment of the creek through the City of Colorado Springs' adopt-a-waterway cleanup program. Two times a year, we invite volunteers to help us cleanup this precious resource. 

We are looking for volunteers to help with this massive trash audit and turn it back into a valuable resource.
