The University of Texas at Dallas community commemorated Juneteenth with a week of celebrations that included a service project to provide meal kits for people in need. The Multicultural Center, part of the Office of Diversity, Equity and Inclusion, organized the events along with campus partners on its Juneteenth Planning Committee. The service project drew 126 volunteers who packed 21,888 meal kits for area food pantries. Some of the meal kits also were donated to the Comet Cupboard, UT Dallas’ food pantry for students in need. In addition to the service project, the University held a kickoff party sponsored by the BFSA, a virtual cookbook release event and a celebration that included a health and wellness fair.
