Leaf A Legacy Workshop Sets Housing's Sustainability Goals
Help make University Housing as green as possible. Attend the Leaf a Legacy workshop Sunday.
University Housing's new student leaders are invited to join a task force dedicated to making the residence halls more sustainable.
The Leaf A Legacy workshop will take place from noon to 4 p.m. Sunday at the Poultry Science Auditorium.

"Our goal is to come up with clear directions for sustainability efforts for this year on campus," she said.
