A description of the NWF program is provided below. If any students are interested in undertaking such a project, perhaps as an independent study, or simply for the experience, there are projects related to the Carnegie Mellon Green Practices Program that would qualify. Below is also a list of possible student projects that would be of help to the Environmental Practices Committee and the campus Green Practices Program. Any interested student should follow-up with Barb Kviz or Liz Munsch in Facilities Management, or Dave Dzombak, Chair of the Environmental Practices Committee. Please forward to any other students you know who may be interested.
