Does the institution have an active student group focused on sustainability?:
The name and a brief description of each student group:
Enactus is an international non-profit organization of students, faculty and corporate leaders that focus on creating entrepreneurial sustainable solutions for community issues. Using business concepts, our group uses business solutions to develop community outreach projects to shape a better, more sustainable world. Bryant University's chapter of Enactus focuses our community projects to assist our local community of Rhode Island with social, economic and environmental issues. One of Enactus' projects is called 'Green Team' which focuses on green initiatives on campus and off campus
List up to 4 notable recent activities or accomplishments of student group(s):
Recyclemania - This is a national competition that Bryant has been a part of for the past few years. Bryant reports the amount of waste we recycled as a percentage of our total waste produced and with this number we are then ranked against other schools. This year we are working on getting other student organizations involved as well as staff and faculty to raise our ranks in the competition.
Beach Cleanups - This is an off campus initiative where a group of Enactus students has gone down to Naraggansett to clean the beaches with an outside organizations
Green Team Twitter - This has been started to inform students about what they can do to keep our campus green
Currently we are running a water bottle awareness campaign. We are in discussions with InspireGreen to buy reusable water bottles from them with the Bryant Bulldog logo. Our hope is to reduce plastic water bottles on campus as we educate the community and give out these reusable water bottles.
