LIVE GREEN GAMES FINAL STANDINGS

 

March Winners: Frontier The Live Green Games Cup

It All Adds Up and Housing & Residential Life (HRL) launched the Live Green Games in fall 2012 to encourage students to live sustainably and conserve campus resources. Monthly sustainability education programming was offered from September through April, for which residents could earn participation points that added to their residence hall's Live Green Games Points Bank. The residence hall that earned the most points each month received 500 bonus points for their success and the right to display the Live Green Games Trophy in their reception area for the following month. Territorial Hall was the inaugural Live Green Game winner and residents were treated to a catered "Sustainable Study Break."
