Dear colleagues,

I invite you to join me the morning of Monday, August 18, as we kick off the 2025-2026 academic year. As we did last year, I'll have a short welcome message and we will use the rest of the time to mingle and connect with each other.

Here are the details:

Kirby Student Lounge
Breakfast foods will be available

As has been done in the past, we will be collecting nonperishable food and other items for Champ's Cupboard, the UMD Food Shelf located in 245 Kirby Plaza. 
Cash donations are also accepted.

Unused/unopened/unexpired items specifically needed are:
  • Pasta (gluten-free pasta as well)
  • Pasta sauces
  • Condiments (sauces, peanut butter, jelly, mustard, ketchup, ranch dressing, vegetable oil, etc.)
  • Cereals
  • Canned tuna and chicken
  • Baking items (sugar, flour, cocoa powder, baking mixes, etc.)
