The annual campus clean-up initiatives have been very productive. We even have been partnering
with "make Marion shine" community group and have had additional cleanups. We've even had
community memeber show up to participate in our campus cleanups.
Update: The Student Mis-Conduct community service and other community service opportunities for
students has been much more productive than our "adopt a parking lot" from 2013-2014.
Weekly updates are provided to the President and her cabinet members including MS4 related
events and trainings. The presidents cabinet continues to be a good resource in reaching out to
Deans and faculty. In addition, Stephanie has begun providing MS4 updates at all Board of
Governor meetings.
We also have an online form that can be used to provide input and submits directly to the physical
plant.
Any and all student/faculty/staff/community participation has been recorded.
FSU's SWMP is provided online for anyone to access and comment.
Continued supply of information to the Board of Governors, President, Cabinet members, and Deans
with the MS4 program.
We have also worked with the marketing department and social media to help spread awareness.
