The name of the campaign (2nd campaign):
Water
A brief description of the campaign (2nd campaign):
ISU has been working on a comprehensive water quality and conservation awareness campaign. Through multiple research programs and on-campus operational changes, the entire 'grown-up' community has been impacted.
A brief description of the measured positive impact(s) of the campaign (2nd campaign):
On-campus usage of water has decreased despite an increase in square footage. Faculty and staff have been increasingly exposed to different features (water bottle filling stations), made aware of campus efforts to decrease water usage (media articles like this one: https://news.illinoisstate.edu/2015/11/water-water-everywhere-water-conservation-efforts-on-campus/), and have been asked to be more responsible residents in their personal lives through community research efforts initiated on campus.
