A brief description of other outreach campaigns, including measured positive impacts:
Two other campaigns that the college has undergone are the move-out recycling campaign and the composting campaign. Move out recycling is a program that sought to address the amount of reusable wasted thrown out at the end of the academic year when students move out. The campaign involved outreach to students to recycle this waste and move-out recycling crews that collected the excess after students left. In 2013 the first year of the campaign, 25,010 lbs of reusable materials was diverted.
The composting campaign was to compost all organic matter in the dining center. A student campaign was launched in March 2014 to educate all students about how to properly separate trash and compost. March 2014 diversion rate was 13,500 lbs.
