The University of Mississippi hosted its fourth annual Green Week on April 18-22, 2011. The faculty in the Office of Campus Sustainability created this week to build awareness and knowledge of how to increase sustainability.
Green Week 2011 consisted of things like a gardening workshop with Felder Rushing, a Green Home Tour throughout Oxford, a “Go Local” food panel with experts from the Oxford area, the Sustainability Fair in front of the Student Union, the Sustainability Leadership Awards, and other events on campus and around Oxford. In an interview with Jim Morrison of the Office of Campus Sustainability, he named these as some of the very well attended events of the week.
Green Week, which is now working with the Oxford’s Mayor Office, is planning to expand the activities and the programs that they hold so that they occur more frequently throughout the year, according to Morrison. This annual event is gaining popularity and effectiveness with every year that they continue to hold it.
