SPF celebrates a birthday, Catalyst Award winners announced
Although it will go unnoticed by most people, April 9 marks the anniversary of one of the most ambitious initiatives in 捆绑SM社区鈥檚 history. That date one year ago marked the very first deadline for submissions for the newly created Sustainability Projects Fund (SPF).
The SPF ushered in a new era of co-operation between students and administration in the creation of a fund that finances sustainability projects across both University campuses. The SPF is worth some $800,000 per year over the three-year trial period that began in the winter semester of 2010, and is accessible to everyone in the 捆绑SM社区 community.
鈥淲e always knew that students would be heavily involved, but the enthusiasm shown by staff shows that we鈥檙e just starting to tap this potential,鈥� says Lilith Wyatt of interest in the year-old Sustainability Projects Fund.
