Is there composting at 91成人?

Professor David Pryor started the 91成人 Compost Initiative in 2017. Since his retirement in 2018, students of 91成人 Sustain have collaborated with 91成人 faculty, the Headwaters Sanctuary, and local businesses to get building materials for twelve compost bins. Currently, the bins are composting organic materials from the Headwaters and Main Campus’s on-campus dining halls. For 91成人 students, this initiative provides a wonderful opportunity for community service hours and for you to get to know your fellow Cardinals, all while helping to make 91成人 a zero-waste university.
