Name of the campaign:
A brief description of the campaign:
Campaign designed at reducing waste on campus. The campaign lasts one week during which student-volunteers talk to their peers about food waste and recycling. Messages on flyers and on the college's electronic portal are also edited and added daily. Student-volunteers also go in the campus dining hall and weigh food waste at every meal during and after campaign.
A brief description of the measured positive impact(s) of the campaign:
Food waste reduction observed because the dining hall has reduced their food purchase without reducing the number of customers and a recycling increase post campaign were recorded.
Name of the campaign (2nd campaign):
A brief description of the campaign (2nd campaign):
The Randolph Rummage Room is a spot on campus where donated items are available for free to students and staff. Most of the items are donated during move-in and move-out each semester. The students hosted a campaign called "Rummage Room To-Go" this year where they brought clothing racks and tables filled with donated items to the center of campus for students to take what they need.
A brief description of the measured positive impact(s) of the campaign (2nd campaign):
We consistently have a full rummage room, an active intern, and divert nearly one ton of waste from landfills. We consistently have student body interest with 60+ students entering the Rummage Room weekly.
