Name of the campaign:
A brief description of the campaign, including how students and/or employees were engaged:
April is a special month where we put an increased emphasis on sustainability efforts on campus and in the community. Student groups begin meeting early in January and February to develop their ideas and begin planning. Some of the typical events each year include: community film/discussion events, poetry readings, clothing swaps, solar swims, invited presentations and discussion with faculty and guest lecturers, music and food events.
A brief description of the measured positive impact(s) of the campaign:
This campaign involves students that may not typically work together on sustainability efforts. The team that organizes this effort arises from many different student organizations, including the Office of Sustainability, Morris Campus Student Association, the Minnesota Public Interest Research Group, Student Organic Gardening Club, and more. The campaign helps to connect student groups that would not typically align their efforts.
