Name of the campaign:
A brief description of the campaign, including how students and/or employees were engaged:
Through a collaborative effort with Residence Life and Facilities Management, we educate students on the importance of unplugging and closing their rooms properly before they campus for winter session. Additionally, we help faculty and staff unplug and turn down the heat while they are gone for winter holidays. Students who do remain on campus are consolidated into a 3 dorm complex so the majority of dorms can be entirely powered down.
A brief description of the measured positive impact(s) of the campaign:
The College saves a tremendous amount of energy and money by collectively powering down while the community is off-campus. Through this educational campaign, it makes a lasting impression both on and off campus.
