It's a gentle nudge. We want all students to learn the basics of recycling and conservation.

Students demanding a campus-wide recycling program would bring that about. President Bryant is very interested in what students care about. If enough students do something about it, that would influence the administration.

I might even be able to educate interested students about recycling, by taking them to a recycling convention this summer.

We felt that [recycling] was getting kind of a negative connotation and people were getting turned off, so part of Linda's idea was [the Recycling Rewards] program, which I think was a good one. Let's create a positive approach here. We do want people to recycle.

She liked first-year students because they were so eager to learn. She was really energized by that.

We really encourage (the students) to ask lots of questions.
