“Campus Sustainability Day is about bringing attention to the many green initiatives on our campus,” said Campus Planning and Sustainability Manager Patricia Watson. “It gives students, faculty and staff an opportunity to get hands-on experience greening themselves and the campus, serving as a reminder that no act is too small and that together we can make a difference.”

Students, faculty and staff are celebrating the day with numerous events, including the following:

  • An energy conservation contest in the residence halls
  • The “Recycling Rush” competition among Greek organizations
