Abstract
The UMF Free The T Project is a student-led initiative that provides free tampons to all UMF students. It began with a large donation of tampons to Community Health Education students working on a class assignment. The Project started by tabling tampons on campus, then expanded to increase access by putting containers in bathrooms of every building. The UMF Free The T Project has now provided over 23,700 tampons to UMF students, and offered valuable experiential learning for many students across various majors.
