1st Campaign
Off-Campus Recycling
A brief description of the campaign, including how students and/or employees were engaged:
Students living off-campus have no available on-site recycling options. They organized a campaign to push property managers to provide recycling, and have been working with municipal government to enact legislation to ensure that multi-family complexes receive the same level of recycling service that individual residential units are afforded.
A brief description of the measured positive impact(s) of the campaign:
The students have been able to enact some changes with individual property managers, and have been meeting with city council members to advance their agenda.

2nd Campaign
Water
A brief description of the campaign, including how students and/or employees were engaged (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.
