Wednesday, September 25, 2024 Bailey Reed, Newsletter Editor Good morning, Hilltoppers! This morning we're starting your morning with news on the Office of Sustainability, SGA's Pink Walk and the upcoming softball and baseball fall seasons. Have a wonderful Wednesday!
Office of Sustainability works to make on-campus living easier Inside a brick house on Regents Avenue is the Office of Sustainability, which works to make the Hill a more environmentally friendly place and houses the WKU Food Pantry. The Office of Sustainability leads projects on campus to improve the school’s effect on the environment. Its website states, “As an office, we feel a moral obligation to our students, our local and global communities, and the planet to do our part in mitigating environmental problems through sustainability initiatives and by training our students to prepare for crucial emerging issues.” The office’s recent efforts have been led by Leslie North, who became the second director of the Office of Sustainability in 2018, and has since made several strides toward making WKU a more sustainable campus. North’s efforts have been fruitful, from earning the Hill three Green Dining certificates to qualifying the campus for international sustainability recognition for three years in a row.
