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.


Name of the campaign (2nd campaign):
Southern Sustainability Week

A brief description of the campaign (2nd campaign):

This week is No Impact Week redesigned. This week is focused on the broader picture of sustainability and includes themes each day focused on social and environmental sustainability. These include consumption, reducing inequalities, climate action, public health, and caring for our community. We host educational tables/events across campus that week and include a post-assessment asking the campus community how much they learned from the event.


A brief description of the measured positive impact(s) of the campaign (2nd campaign):
