Name of the campaign:
A brief description of the campaign:
Each year, the RESC holds the annual International Energy and Sustainability Conference (IESC), with various renewable energies being featured. As part of the conference we have a student poster competition in various groups (High School, Undergraduate, Graduate). The students along with their mentors would showcase their work and are able to network with other students in the same area of energy/sustainability.
We have exhibitors and sponsors who attend where individuals are able to network with the attendees.
A brief description of the measured positive impact(s) of the campaign:
A survey is sent to individuals who attended the conference to fill out regarding satisfaction of the event. Other benefits, such as the information shared through the research posters and the networking that is built, are hard to measure. However, the conference still produced those positive results.
Name of the campaign (2nd campaign):
A brief description of the campaign (2nd campaign):

The sustainability manager has partnered with the marketing and communications department to create visuals to help direct students and staff on how to properly recycle. This campaign aims to increase diversion rates and decrease contamination in the recycling streams.
A brief description of the measured positive impact(s) of the campaign (2nd campaign):
The weight of our recyclables is not currently collected, however our staff that collect the recyclables have given verbal confirmation that recycling rates have increased since the campaign was launched.
