Program of the Year!

Submitted by sgaeic on Thu, 04/28/2011 - 22:35

If you couldn't attend the Student Government Association's banquet this year, Environmental Issues Committee received the award for SGA Program of the Year this evening!

Our composting and recycling initiative that was implemented in the Underground Food Court with the assistance of University Dining was selected as the SGA program of the year! We're very excited and proud to have won this award! The project required a great amount of coordination, effort, and time from not only our members but as well as employees of Texas A&M University Dining! We really appreciated gaining the opportunity to work with them and they deserve just as much credit for this award as we do!

So thanks again to everyone who assisted in making this program such a huge success!

We honestly could not have done it without you!
