There’s so much happening at City College, we at the Express wanted to offer a place for students and staff to get essential information in an informative and efficient way. We are compiling a brief list of all the crucial news the City College community needs to know every other week.
In need of free art supplies to get your creative juices flowing? Or perhaps have too much and want to take some off your hands? City College’s Makerspace, the Sustainability Club and the Art Department have partnered up to host an arts and crafts swap meet for students to stop by and either donate usable arts and crafts supplies, or take what you need. On Thursday, March 21, at the City College library (LRC) room 105, 1 p.m. to 3 p.m. you can take advantage of this free and sustainable resource. To donate any usable supplies, head up to the second floor of the LRC or the Makerspace from now until Thursday, March 21.
