Successful return of the Goodwill, not Landfill Campaign
With the 2022 Goodwill, not Landfill campaign we collected over 3,800 pounds of donated items from students during the Spring 2022 move out. By donating items and clothes to Goodwill, students diverted thousands of pounds from being sent to landfills for disposal. From May 2 to May 9, donation boxes from our sustainable community partner, Goodwill, were placed in the lobbies of the five residence halls (Coronna, Bonin, Baker, Huger, and Agnes Edwards).

Green infrastructure is a key aspect of the campus stormwater master plan.
According to the EPA, Section 502 of the Clean Water Act defines green infrastructure as "...the range of measures that use plant or soil systems, permeable pavement or other permeable surfaces or substrates, stormwater harvest and reuse, or landscaping to store, infiltrate, or evapotranspirate stormwater and reduce flows to sewer systems or to surface waters."
