I am a little late to posting this, but wow, what an experience! Through my position as Sustainability Chair for Drackett Hall Council, I was able to work alongside my peers to put on a week full of programs pertaining to environmental awareness and overall well being. While the rest of Hall Council helped, overseeing it all was myself and the Wellness Chair, as this was our idea. This meant that we had to gather a committee, select the activities, prepare a budget, collaborate with advisers, and market our program. It took months of preparation, as Drackett Tower housed over 800 residents, and a lot of creativity and problem solving. There were bumps in the road. For example, the neighboring dorm would not let us sign out their grill. We had to cook food for 800 people using one stove and one microwave, in less than two hours. This was a crazy hurdle that we had not anticipated. However, with every burner on, every utensil used and all hands on deck, we were able to finish the week up on a high note! Not only did we have a great time with our friends, but we used this event to give back to the community by cleaning up the local river. Pictures of the trash collected and the schedule are attached to this post
