Planning to Participate in the Shredding Event? Let Us Know!
As part of Campus Safety Week, we will be hosting Shred It and Forget It: Campus-Wide Shredding Day on Thursday, September 24, from 10 a.m. to noon at the Lucy Statue.
To help us prepare for the event, please complete our brief Shredding Event Survey by Monday, September 21.
The survey will help us estimate the amount of material that needs to be shredded and ensure we have the necessary supplies and services available. You can also let us know if you need boxes or assistance picking up shredding materials from your campus location.
