Experiment Idea

Attention ALL University of Utah students, faculty and staff:

Every student currently pays $2.50 into the Sustainable Campus Initiative
Fund (SCIF) which is designated to provide funding for energy-saving and
environmentally beneficial projects on campus.

Any current student, faculty, or staff member with a sustainable project
idea has the opportunity to apply to SCIF.

70% of the fund serves as a revolving loan fund to be paid back via
energy-saving projects.

30% of the fund serves as a grant allocated to projects with an
environmental, educational and community benefit.

Examples of projects include:


 *   Hosting a environmentally focused writing competition
 *   Expanding and enhancing productivity of campus gardens
 *   Launching campus-wide composting project
 *   Initiating an energy-use competition between residence halls
 *   Creating art installations using recycle and salvaged materials
 *   Making an educational video about sustainable behaviors to be shown
on campus

 *   Internships and research related to sustainability

How to get started:


 *   Talk to your friends and classmates
 *   Discuss project ideas with your professors
 *   Contact Whitney Williams
(w.williams@utah.edu@utah.edu>), the program
coordinator for project ideas
 *   Apply by February 12, 2010 OR April 9, 2010
