Student Initiatives

• In 2008 SU students joined more than 400 colleges and universities throughout the United States in competing to see who could produce the most recycling through the national RecycleMania program. During the 10-week competition, SU students recycled 4.3 tons of material including glass, aluminum, plastic, paper and cardboard.
