03.30.10 | Save the World Week @ UBCO!
Between March 22 and 26th, UBCO goBEYOND teamed up with the fantastic girls down at the UBCO Campus Life office to engage our students in thinking about what they can do to save the world!
We kicked off the week with a group of nurses doing a waste audit of our brand new University Centre – this is really exciting because we just started up our new Earth Tub and will have campus-wide composting in September!!
Tuesday was a day full of events focused on water for World Water Day. We were lucky enough to have the amazing Robert Sanford visit us and talk on the water situation in the Okanagan, a water cooler drum parade, campus sustainability tours and even a water related poetry slam!
On Wednesday our always entertaining BC Hydro rep came to res where we had students participate in an energy-efficiency jeopardy challenge! Competition was intense but our Energy Evadors slipped by in the end to take home the ‘zza!
Campus was buzzing on Thursday with our Alternative Transportation Fair in the main courtyard. The Longboard Club was out groovin to the Rock n Roll Club while the Cities Transportation Department advertised for Bike to Work/School Week and we unrolled the new UBCO Unicycles program!
A lot of work went in to planning the event, but the comments from students and hearing their concerns were totally worth it. I definitely recommend planning events for this week next year!

Hey, very nice website. I actually came across this on Yahoo, and I am really happy I did. I will definately be returning here more often. Wish I could add to the conversation and bring a bit more to the table, but am just absorbing as much info as I can at the moment.
Thank You
