The Office of Sustainability (OS) participated in Campus Sustainability Month (CSM) by hosting an end-of-the-month celebratory event to engage the campus community with sustainable practices.
Campus Sustainability Month serves as a time to celebrate the environment through a variety of engagement opportunities such as Energy Efficiency Day (10/4), World Migratory Bird Day (10/14), and World Food Day (10/16). The OS used these days to show the campus community how UMD celebrates sustainability and to share opportunities for student involvement.
To wrap up CSM, the OS put on a Campus Sustainability Month Celebration (CSMC) as a way to recognize student organizations and campus departments that partake in and promote sustainable action around campus. Students were able to engage in activities like jeopardy, trivia, blending a fall smoothie with the DOTS Smoothie Bike, using various soils to paint with the ENST department, and more.
CSMC was a great way to wrap up the month, but if you missed the OS there, you can always catch us bi-weekly at the Tawes Farmers Market.
