During the 2020-2021 academic year as a way to continue communicating with our campus community when we were not able to host events our marketing and communications intern created and launched a podcast on Spotify, Voices of Sustainability.

In our LEED certified buildings we have educational signage placed throughout rooms/hallways highlighting sustainability features of the facility.

We have also installed small metals signs on couple dozen trees in common walking areas that have QR codes on them whch helps to engage campus visitors and encourages them to learn more about the trees around our campus.

We have also begun installing signage around campus near pollinator gardens, stormwater infrastucture, etc... to education campus visitors.

Our virtual campus map also has a selection box for sustainability features.
