GW Goes Green…Again

by Chris Evans

Forget about the recycling bins, the Student Association (SA) is offering an even more useful way to recycle. Yesterday the SA sent an email to the entire student body requesting students submit syllabi and tests to be catalogued for future student use. 

The SA indicated it is accepting all past and current syllabi and tests that are in, "good and readable condition." The goal of the project, according to SA Chair of the Academic Affairs Committee, Senator Alicia Rose, is to, "provide students with an invaluable study tool, the opportunity to look at tests for a course from previous years." 

Senator Rose indicated it is merely an expansion of the SA's current system in which students can request tests. 

Beyond being green and offering study materials, the drive will also offer a catalogue of syllabi. These syllabi can be accessed by students prior to registering for classes. Senator Rose states the goal of the syllabi collection is to, "help students make crucial decisions over which courses to take." 

The SA stated that with this expansive resource, students could make more informed decisions during registration. 

The SA is encouraging students to participate by offering entry into a drawing for 15 dollar Starbucks gift cards upon submission of their used materials. According to Senator Rose, "three students will be randomly selected to receive the gift cards." 

Even those who don't win the drawing will still receive a cleaner room and a feel-good conscious for recycling their materials. 

Materials can be emailed to gwacfs@gmail.com or dropped off in the SA office, Marvin 427, during business hours. The deadline for submissions is Sunday, the 21st of October and students are welcome to access the test and syllabi database immediately.
