Specific days and times are listed below. The committee asks that students RSVP ahead of time by logging into <a href=\"https:\/\/www.unmc.edu\/oce\/engage\/index.html\">ENGAGE<\/a> and selecting the day they plan to come and pick up their bag. Priority will be given to students who RSVP. <\/p>\n<p><b>Pick up dates:<\/b><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Wednesday, Aug. 26, noon-2 p.m.\n<li>Thursday, Aug. 27, 2-4 p.m.\n<li>Friday, Aug. 28, 9-11
