Do you live in Prospect or Woodbridge? Are you a compost/food waste enthusiast? We want YOU!
There is interest in conducting a second pilot program for composting in dorms this spring. Based on conversations with many students and the research of Jill Jenkin ’19 and Jessica Munoz ’19, we learned that student interest in composting outside of dining halls is still high and have identified a few student residences to start with. If you live in Prospect or Woodbridge - or have friends who live in either building – and are excited about helping to facilitate the composting process there, email Mike in the Zilkha Center at mae3. For info about last year's pilot, click here.
