Name of the campaign:
No Impact Week

A brief description of the campaign:
No Impact Week was a week focusing on lowering individual impact through positive behaviors. The week consisted of educating students on specific areas to lower their impact and then make better decisions based on knowledge obtained (waste, transportation, energy, food, water) and then giving back and reflecting on how to incorporate this living into everyday life.

A brief description of the measured positive impact(s) of the campaign:
We obtained emails and registrations through a signup sheet, in which students were sent emails each day about the impact the theme of the day has on the world around them. They would attend different events across campus to learn more about these as well.
