Students for Environmental Awareness and Sodexho are working together to
create a reusable mug that students, faculty and staff can use to receive
a discount at Jazzman's. We need a logo that is 2.5 inches wide by 2
inches high, that says Students for Environmental Awareness and
incorporates a theme of sustainability. The winner will receive a gift
certificate for $100 at the UMBC Bookstore, and the deadline for
submissions is April 11th.

Campus Clean-up with Karin Readel! A possible shorter/closer option for those who don’t have the entire day and/or are merely spoil sports and don’t like to get very muddy. No hard feelings. We still like you. Meet in the parking lot in front of Patapsco at 9 am.
In preparation for Earth Day, join campus community members and Friends of the Patapsco Valley and Heritage Greenway, Inc. as we clean the streams on UMBC's campus as part of the statewide annual Project Clean Stream! This is the 4th year UMBC has participated in this event- last year approximately 50 volunteers removed over 1200
lbs of trash from the stream. Gloves, garbage bags, and refreshments will be provided. Meet in Parking Lot 13 (across from Patapsco Hall at the corner of Hilltop Circle and Poplar Ave) at 9:00 - 9:15 am to check in. The clean up will run through noon, but we'll welcome volunteers for whatever time you can spare.

Please RSVP to Karin Readel at readel@umbc.edu by Friday, April 4th so we can make sure to have enough supplied and refreshments on hand.
Sunday(4/6)-
Adopt a Road! 1pm. Meet at the Commons circle and we will carpool (or walk if you are Brian) to the site. If you can’t come at one, we will be working near the gas station (the ghetto one) on Wilkens Ave (Past Maiden Choice lane and left at that weird intersection).
