The reach of Illini Union events go beyond the event itself; it is the goal that all attendees will be exposed to sustainability efforts and carry this knowledge to incorporate at their own events, offices, and households. A comprehensive sustainable event guide will be developed and standardized, including actions such as serving local food with meatless options, going paperless, eliminating disposable items, providing reusable giveaways, and communicating the priority of sustainability at the event. For this objective, we may partner with the Department of Recreation, Sport & Tourism (RST) to develop and incorporate sustainable practices into a module of the Event Planning course. RST undergraduate and graduate students can work as event consultants for Illini Union Board events.
