HSI worked with facilities management when it began composting our organic waste on campus. Activities included a waste audit at Kennedy Union and building a bin to hold a static aerated compost test pile. Wooden boxes for for compost were replaced with a system that could hold much more material.

In the fall of 2017, UD students, faculty, staff and community partner Enterprise Roofing came together to install the first UD green roof on the KU patio.

Our student reps and leaders are involved in projects on and off campus, leading the way in making our campus and community more sustainable.
