Green Events Commission

Yes, we're environmentalists, but we're also artists, economists, engineers, and pre-medical students. Therefore, we understand that what's best for the environment isn't always pragmatic in other arenas--we know you'll have to make compromises, and we're prepared to make those compromises with you. We have experience with large events (i.e. Dance Marathon, WILD, Bauhaus) and smaller events (i.e. Taste of the Lou) alike, and we hope you and your group will use us as a resource as you plan your next event.

Mission Statement
The Green Events Commission (GEC) seeks to engage students as we conduct research and provide consulting services. Our aim is to make sustainability a feature of all student event planning.

GEC Happenings
1) In December 2011, changes to the GEC statutes were presented to Student Union's Senate and Treasury by co-chairs Lindsay Aronson and Mike Yue and passed. These revised statutes are effective immediately (outline of changes.) A supplementary Protocol for Green Events was also approved.
2) Sustainable Events Guide: Click the hyperlink to take a look! Limited hard copies are available for reference in the Student Union office in the DUC as well.
