Organizational Sustainability

Kent State celebrated Earth Month with an exceptionally full schedule of events, not the least of which were the activities on campus surrounding the total solar eclipse!

Birds flew overhead, black squirrels darted around and a cool, calm breeze swept across Risman Plaza on April 22 as dozens of organizations assembled their tables for Earth Fest, an interactive Earth Day event.  

"Talking with Todd" focuses on the state capital budget and Kent State's core values.

The annual prairie burn on the university property near the Recreation and Wellness Center renews healthy plant growth and saves Kent State money in maintenance costs.

The protected prairie surrounding Kent State University’s Warren Student Recreation and Wellness Center will be burned on Monday, April 15, between the hours of 9 a.m. and noon, to allow for new growth during the summer season.

Kent State's DI Hub is participating in the Campus Race to Zero Waste One-Building Challenge, a friendly competition between universities with the goal of finding all the ways to reduce the amount of non-diverted trash in a specific university facility. 

Flashes can sample items from nearly 20 vendors to help University Culinary Services determine which new items to add to on-campus menus. 

After the eclipse, Flashes can do their part to promote sustainability  by recycling their eclipse glasses for use by viewers of future eclipses around the world.
