University Housing and Food Services needs your help.
Posted for H&FS Sustainability Contact Diane Barker

"Every year the residence halls has a mass exit of students during the end of finals week. All are anxious to exit and leave for home after finals. We try very hard to engage them to donate things for reuse or recycling through the annual Pack up Pitch In Help Out Program. To help with this program this year we are looking for Dock and Lobby Environmental Stewards..

Why: Great opportunity to Be Spartan Green, say good bye to students and parents, help the environment and participate in a community service event.We are looking for ways to personally engage students and parents in this area and feel we can make a bigger difference if we engage the students more directly.Personal engagement is the best way.. we need you!

When: Wednesday, Thursday and Friday of Finals week May 6-8, 2009 from10am-7pm daily, shifts can be split up with partners if you like...

What: We are looking for people to adopt the Residence Halls during this busy time and work to help Be Spartan Green.Dock /Lobby Environmental Stewards will oversee the back dock and front lobby areas, encourage and make sure recycling is being recycled and donations are being donated. Additionally, we will be directing people,like move in, to the proper locations to recycle or donate items and assist with dock and lobby area management ( recycling, donations,parking , non profit pickups etc. and helping our students move out)

How do I get involved?: Give Diane Barker your name, email and when you can work with times between 10am-7pm May 6-8. Diane will coordinate as schedule and assignments.It would be great to get some environmental stewardship engagement on this.... Let me know by March 20th if you have interest.

All Residence hall complexes will be looking for people to work during these times... so let me know if you or someone you know wants to assist from 10am-7pm Wed-Fri May 6-8..It is always fun to say good bye and to assist students, just like move in...

Thank you for your time and consideration and for being Spartan Green.
