The W&L Exchange

A brief description of the innovative policy, practice, program, or outcome that outlines how credit criteria are met and any positive measurable outcomes associated with the innovation:
The W&L Exchange is a new re-use resource for campus. Established in 2023 a a both a repository for good quality items that were no longer needed, and may otherwise have gone to the landfill, and as a free campus "supply closet" for al members of the W&L community, the Exchange has enjoyed great success in its first year. Donations are regularly received from campus departments as they reorganize or relocate, and those donations are readily snapped up but other departments or students who can put them to good use. the Exchange is also an E-Waste drop-off spot, and altogether a great way for campus community members to witness, and benefit from, fundamentals of a circular economy approach.
