DEPARTING SLU STUDENTS DONATE TO KOSOVO REFUGEES

CANTON - Departing St. Lawrence University students who might 
otherwise have thrown out clothing, small appliances and other 
items from dormitory life rather than move them, have instead 
donated the items to refugees from Kosovo who are in Canada.
	Collection boxes were placed in residence halls as classes 
ended, and students were encouraged to donate items rather than 
discard them or leave them behind as they packed to leave campus 
at the end of the academic year. As a result, some 40 large bags 
of clothing, shoes, household items, sports equipment and food was 
donated. Arrangements have been made for the items to go to the 
Kingston, Ontario, Salvation Army, for distribution to Kosovo refugees 
recently relocated to Canada.
	While donations came mostly from students, faculty and staff 
members also contributed items to the effort.
	The project was coordinated on campus by Residential 
Coordinator Margo-Lyn Grant and Laurie Booth-Trudo, associate director 
of counseling services.
