Ever wonder what that $10 Green Fee you paid last year went toward?

The $10 “Green Fee,” or Student Sustainability Fee, was approved by the student body in fall 2012 by a 75 percent majority vote.

Throughout the spring 2014 semester, The Sustainability Fee Committee, made up of eight students, three staff members and one faculty member representative, decided which 12 proposals they would fund for $238,074.25 this fall 2014 semester.
