Student organizations
Student organizations have been working on environmentally friendly and socially responsible projects for years. We encourage you to seek out student organizations through their Web site(s) and events like O-Fest.
Recent projects
There have been several recent projects put on by student groups here on campus. some of these include:
Wisconsin Native Tree Project: SEAC has teemed up with the Office of Public Affairs and the Department of Biological Sciences to see how we can incorporate native trees on campus. Native trees are more durable and require less watering since they have adapted to our climate.
The eLIMO project: This is a collaboration between the eLIMO Project Team, MATC, and several corporations to retrofit one of our L.I.M.O vans into an electric vehicle (EV). You can find updates in the AHOYA newsletter.
Hunger Clean-up: Hunger Clean-up seeks to make our students aware of the issues of hunger and homelessness in Milwaukee. Check out the Hunger Clean-up Web site.
Student Rain Garden: Engineering students created a rain garden on campus a few years ago in collaboration with the Wisconsin Department of Natural Resources to help mitigate storm water runoff. It will be cleaned up this weekend during Hunger Clean-up and we expect to see it replanted within a few weeks.
The Campus Kitchen Project: This innovative program brings together students, on-campus dining service professionals and community organizations to combat hunger in Milwaukee. They served over 14,000 meals last year to local organizations. More information on The Campus Kitchen Project.
