IUPUI Sustainability Day
Sustainability Day at IUPUI, part of the Campus Sustainability Day movement, was held October 22 at Campus Center. Campus Sustainability Day is a nationally-celebrated tradition since October 2003, and it is held annually on the 4th Wednesday of October at colleges and universities across the United States.
Fall Service Learning Underway
This semester we have scheduled thirteen projects which will serve up to 350 students. We have six sites of interest in and around Marion County. Eagle Creek, Marott Park, and Southeastway Park have alredy taken place with a great turnout!
School Branch Update
In August we wrote that we were making significant progress on the Starkey Farms Edge of Field sampling, and the School Branch National Water Quality Initiative. Shortly after that post we identified some additional funding needs that slowed our progress.
Edge of Field Project Starting Soon
A new project is getting ready to start at CEES: Edge of Field. Led by Dr. Pierre-Andre Jacinthe of the IUPUI Department of Earth Sciences, Edge of Field is designed to determine whether improvements in water quality can be achieved by altering farm management practices (like fertilizer application) at Starkey Farms in Hendricks County.
