#myCMUlife | Sustainability at CMU
With sustainable practices at the heart of many CMU students' values, it's no wonder there is a student group on campus dedicated to peace and sustainability.
The peace and sustainability committee, in collaboration with the arts and entertainment committee, holds a week-long festival every year with education and events to engage students in sustainability. This year's festival included a thrift store trip, a fashion show, a winter cycling workshop, a market, and last but certainly not least, a dumpster diving excursion.
