Reynolds Recyclemania Logo Contest

This semester J. Sargeant Reynolds Community College joined hundreds of other colleges and universities nationwide participating in "RecycleMania" focusing on waste reduction and increasing campus recycling. As part of the competition, Reynolds invited students to submit a logo that best symbolized conservation and sustainability. A panel of judges recently awarded prizes for first, second and third place.

First Place - Sofia Duarte for "Thinking Green"

Sofia notes that her submission "is a computer generated image made to inspire Reynolds students to think about how we can help conserve resources to better protect the wildlife around us and for future generations."

Second Place - Ciani Clarke

Third Place - Wayne Rau

Congratulations to all three students for their visualizations of Reynolds' recycling and sustainability efforts. And don't forget about Earth Day observations at Parham Road Campus next week.

Earth Day Observation at Reynolds
April 22, 12:15 p.m. to 12:45 p.m.
PRC, Massey LTC, Lipman Auditorium

Earth Day marks the anniversary of what many consider the birth of the modern environmental movement in 1970. The annual observation of Earth Day has continued to serve as a time to sharpen our focus on sustainability and environmentally friendly practices. Earth Day 2015 at Reynolds will be celebrated with a very special speaker: Carrie Rose Pace, GRTC Public Relations Manager, who recently retired from WTVR CBS-6 as their weekday morning meteorologist after more than six years. At GRTC, Carrie advocates for advances in transportation technology, including upgrading to cleaner and more efficient fuel options and transit systems.
