Current Projects

Energy Competition

Green Campus installed real-time metering in two residence halls on campus, Shasta and Lassen. The Metering is on display on our website throughout the year and in the residence halls when the events are held. Green Campus regularly hosts energy reduction competitions with each hall. First-year students are educated on energy conservation practices, such as what temperature to set their room to, and how to prevent phantom loads, while participating to win prizes such as gift certificates, iPods, and pizza parties. We are currently reevaluating our measurements after the construction that took place on that side of campus but expect to have an energy competition run in spring semester.

Turn off the Lights Campaign

Green Campus has been working with the IT department to install Faronics Powersave in labs across campus. Currently approximately 800 computers  

Green Career Fair

Green Campus partnered with Net Impact and Career Services to get the word out to students who attend the career fair about which companies have sustainable jobs students can apply for ands which companies have sustainable practices. We determine this by sending out surveys to the companies prior to the career fair. In addition, part of this project also involves outreach to the students. At the career fair we encourage students to take at survey at our booth about their own sustainable habits and the importance of working for a sustainable company. Students are then given a green ribbon to wear during the career fair to signify that they value sustainability in a company. As an added benefit this also gives them a strong talking point when they begin speaking with “Green” employers.
