During spring commencement each year, when upperclassmen are moving out of their town houses, Bryant hosts a "Green Move Out" in collaboration with Goodwill. Goodwill helps to collect items such as clothes, electronics, appliances, and other items that would otherwise be thrown in the dumpster and eventually the Rhode Island landfill. These items are then sold at a Goodwill store. For every $1.00 that is spent in a Goodwill Store, 87 cents goes back into our community, helping people find jobs.
