SUNY Sullivan’s Holiday Toy and Food Drive was created to help SUNY Sullivan students who have young children. “Being a parent and attending college is very challenging.” said Associate Dean of Student Engagement Deb Waller-Frederick. “We recognize the hurdles our students with children often face. This Toy Drive is our way of spreading some holiday cheer to those students who are juggling family responsibilities and academics simultaneously.”
