In an effort to reshape
current initiatives, to further promote and improve sustainable green practices
and to reset UM’s focus on best business practices campus-wide students,
faculty and staff engaged one another town hall-style on Jan. 22, 2015.

| Comer Hall Auditorium |
The focus of this session
emphasized several key components in an effort to insure we at the University
of Montevallo are maintaining a pro-active approach that reinforces an
excellent green initiative here on campus.
Some of the key things
covered in the discussion and during various breakout sessions are as follows: Green funds, The Organic Garden, Food Waste at Chartwells, Recycling and Energy Consumption

| Sorting Recyclables |
Overall, the key take-away from the town hall session
centered on the need to further coordinate efforts among students, faculty,
staff members and the multitude of clubs and organizations present on campus.
Associate Professor of Environmental Studies, Susan
Caplow said, “I’d like to include more opportunities within the Environmental
Studies classes to get involved with the real life sustainability issues here
on campus. So we are definitely moving
in that direction.”
Students interested in immediate involvement with
sustainability on campus can join the UM Environmental Club which meets every Tuesday at 3:30 in the front foyer of Arthur Fort Harman Hall. Or they may contact the Physical
Plant at 205-665-6170.
