- All dayGive & Go:Give and Go is an initiative hosted by Community Outreach that diverts waste from landfills by providing students moving out with an easy and accessible way to donate the items they no longer need rather than throwing them out. After a brief hiatus due to COVID, the program was revamped in 2024 and diverted more than 8,000lbs of items from the incineration and into the populations our 8 community partners served. Give & Go is back for 2025 and we're aiming to double our impact with donations collected from May 8th-10th & 12th! Join us in promoting a more sustainable UConn by volunteering! Donate your unneeded items at a donation tent near you or the Ratcliffe Hicks Arena.

Meetings are facilitated by a student member of the URC with support from a Recovery Coach and are held both in-person and online for students from other UConn campuses.
- 5:30 PM2hAll Together Now- Regional Exhibition Opening ReceptionAll Together Now is an exhibition that speaks to human experience and community. The title of the exhibition references the music hall tradition of everyone joining in singing. Artists from new London, Windham, Tolland, and Middlesex counties in Connecticut and Washington County in Rhode Island were invited to submit two dimensional artworks which were reviewed by an exhibition committee. The twenty-eight selected artworks include drawing, mixed media, textile, painting, photography, and printmaking. For All Together Now Expressiones presents ARTVenture: Journeys in Creativity and Confidence, in which they proudly showcase their young artists' creative journey, featuring children ages 8 to 12. Under the guidance of their Artists-in-Residence—Toto Fernandez, Indira Urrutia, and Marc Hors—students have explored painting, drawing, and mixed media to discover and strengthen essential life skills: self-confidence, communication, teamwork, and problem-solving. Each piece in the exhibition reflects their process of exploration and growth, where art becomes a tool for self-awareness and resilience. The Alexey von Schlippe Gallery and Expressiones invite you to appreciate not only the beauty of their creations but also the transformative power of art in the holistic development of children in our community. Exhibition dates: May 9 – June 1, 2025 Gallery hours: Thursday-Sunday 12 – 4 pm
