Fall 2021 Semester Summary
Associated Project(s):The SSLC underwent many changes under the new leadership of co-presidents Owen Jennings, Maiah Caise, Jack Reicherts, and Maria Maring. The board experimented with the mission and niche of the SSLC, ultimately establishing that the organization shall act as a medium of communication between student groups and the administration. The organization will also be the primary host of the annual Student Sustainability Summit in October, touting – among other interdisciplinary events – Green Quad Day, Sustainable Student Research Symposium, and Tuesday Talks at Bevier Cafe.

Archived Info - Previous Project Description
Associated Project(s):This project creates an aquaponics system that will work as a demonstrative unit on campus to spread sustainability awareness and illustrate the effectiveness of aquaponics in a small area. The goal of aquaponics is to create a closed ecosystem in which both plants and fish benefit and grow. Aquaponics has the potential to produce large quantities of both vegetables and fish with minimal inputs and nearly no negative outputs. The project teams' desire is to establish a base system from which the possibility to expand exists.
Whats new?
Associated Project(s):Last year was spent trying to optimize the use of freshwater shrimp in the system. After a less the satisfactory yield we are reintroducing Tilapia into the aquaponics system in the Turner Hall greenhouses. The produce side of the system provides fresh baby greens and serves as a propagation station for the indoor herb garden. 18S Semesterly Report - Aquaponics Demonstration
Associated Project(s):The Spring 2018 semesterly report for the aquaponics demonstration submitted to the Student Sustainability Committee.
geothermal could be an option for aquaponics on campus
Associated Project(s):The geothermal researchers suggest considering geothermal in collaboration with aquaponics. Apparently, our region could be a great supplier of shrimp farming some day...
