GVSU named Top Green College by Princeton Review

"This recognition is a tribute to the Lakers who have shown their commitment to sustainability," said Yumiko Jakobcic, director of sustainability. "It is a nod to those who paved the way for a sustainable future years ago and those working now, often behind the scenes, to carry that work forward. It is also a tribute to our students who advocate for sustainability, take courses to expand their thinking and who practice it in their daily lives. It is proof that sustainability is the Laker way of life."

October is Sustainability Month at GVSU . The Office of Sustainability Practices and student organizations, including the Farm Club, Beekeeper's Club and Native American Student Association, have hosted events recognizing the value of sustainability. These programs aren't limited to October, said Jakobcic, because "every month is sustainability month at GVSU."

There will be zero-waste football games throughout November, when student volunteers from Student Senate, Women's Club Lacrosse and Men's Club Volleyball aim to decrease the amount of landfill waste created at Lubbers Stadium. The Sustainable Agriculture Project is also a year-round initiative, giving Lakers hands-on experience growing produce, conducting research, and learning about and connecting to the environment.
