A brief description of the event(s):
Beautiful U Day is an annual event joining students, faculty, and staff for sustainability and beautification events on all University of Minnesota campuses. The Twin Cities campus' 2011 event centered on sustainable transportation and featured a Sustainable Transportation Expo during which various organizations showcased the Twin Cities Campus' sustainable transportation options, like biking, walking, public transportation and car pooling. During the Expo the University's ReUse Program partnered with used bike retailer Re-Cycle.com to host a used bike sale. Re-Cycle.com and other local bike shops will also offer tune-ups and other services at Northrop Plaza, the West Bank and in St. Paul. The bike sale put over 200 bikes in the hand of University community members, mainly students.
