Linda Kogan, director, Office of Sustainability, accepted a Greenie Award on behalf of UCCS April 26 at the Colorado Springs Fine Arts Center. She was joined by several UCCS students and alumni who celebrated the recognition of UCCS sustainability initiatives.
The 6th Annual Earth Month Fashion Show and Greenie Awards featured recycled outfits in a fashion show as well as music and dancing at the Fine Arts Center. Ticket sale proceeds benefitted the Rocky Mountain Field Institute.
UCCS was cited in the school category for efforts including construction of energy efficient buildings, prohibiting the sale of bottled water, on-campus vegetable production and creation of a sustainable development academic minor.
