BSOS Wins Sustainability Fund Grant for Solar Charging/Study Station

The College of Behavioral and Social Sciences was awarded a University Sustainability Council project grant from the Sustainability Fund. The $5,000 award will support the creation of BSOS’s Solar Power Charging and Study Station.

The BSOS Sustainability Task Force, comprised of 18 undergraduates from different majors, designed this solar-powered, outdoor study area to be installed on campus. The design includes a table furnished with solar-powered outlets and benches. This project will allow students to study in an area where they can minimize their environmental impact by utilizing renewable energy from several nearby solar panels. This space will raise awareness about alternative energy sources while serving as an outdoor gathering space.

Congratulations to our innovative and dedicated staff, students and faculty who are working to Be the Solution!
