Members of the campus community who have old prescription glasses, readers, or sunglasses they no longer need can put them to good use by dropping them off at one of several campus locations. In this program—which is a staff Eco-Rep initiative—glasses will be collected and sent to VSP Global’s Eyes of Hope program, which brings disaster relief, education, eye care, and eyeware to people around the globe who need it the most.

Drop-off locations include: SAS Grad Division, 3401 Walnut St., Suite 322A; Annenberg Public Policy Center, 202 South 36th St., Lobby (access Monday to Friday, 8:30 a.m. to 5 p.m.); Wharton Finance & Administration, Steinberg Hall-Dietrich Hall, 3620 Locust Walk, Suite 1100; Perelman Center for Advanced Medicine, West Pavilion, 3rd Floor, Ophthalmology Waiting Room; and Levy Center for Oral Health Research, Lobby, 4010 Locust St.
