Subject: Re: Extension request for Dump and Run
The University YMCA is hosting their annual Dump and Run event in August 2022 at the Stock Pavilion. SSC funding will support this important reuse event,
SSC received a semesterly report for Fall 2021 for the Campus Contributions to Dump and Run on 06/16/2022. Please see attached.
An extension request was submitted for Dump and Run, an SSC-funded project. This request addressed a change in the project's scope, including ending a partnership with the University YMCA, potential rebranding, and new initiatives for UIUC-led collection programs.
See the scope change in the attached files.
Below is an email from Morgan White describing that the University YMCA plans to only conduct Dump and Run in the fall.
This led Morgan, F&S, & Housing leadership to decide to delay their version of spring collections until the full-time Zero Waste Coordinator has been hired.
