The Daily Bruin

Have you noticed changes occurring in how we are recycling as a university? Are you curious what led to these changes and how we are seeking to recycle in the future? Do you have some thoughts or ideas about recycling that you would like to dialogue around?

If so, join us for a meeting from 5 to 5:40 p.m. on Monday, Sept. 24, in EHS 102. The meeting will include a 20-minute presentation on the state of recycling at George Fox, followed by about 20 minutes of question-and-answer time and open dialogue.

All are welcome and encouraged to bring questions and ideas! If you have any questions about this event, or if you are not able to make this meeting but have some questions regarding recycling on campus, you can email Trevor Woods at twoods@georgefox.edu.
