Name of the campaign (2nd campaign):
A brief description of the campaign (2nd campaign):
A month-long annual engagement campaign during the month of March to help encourage students and employees to "Race to Reduce" impacts on the environment through various activities.
This includes the annual spring energy competition in Housing and weekly tabling events. For March 2020, this included weekly cooking demonstration tours at the Farmers Market as well as a brand new "Take the Stairs" campaign hosted Mondays in Welch Hall (CSUDH's largest admin building). During the lunch hour on Mondays, student volunteers stood on the stair landings and provided tickets correlating to various floors. During that hour, anyone who took the stairs could receive a punch card for the number of floors they took and exchange the card for prizes.
While the energy competition and Take the Stairs campaign were cut short due to COVID 19 measures that postponed all programming for the rest of the semester, this was still a successful campaign that will be repeated for the 2021 academic year.
A brief description of the measured positive impact(s) of the campaign (2nd campaign):
The campaign as a whole engaged 138 participants despite the disruption/early postponement.
A brief description of other sustainability-related outreach campaigns:
While cancelled this year due to COVID-19 measures, the annual Earth Day Festival at CSUDH regularly engages 2,000+ visitors and campus users every year. This year's festival was shifted to consist of an online bingo game to provide a virtual option for celebrating.
