Green Report Card

This week I've been researching the college sustainability report card.  Syracuse University received an overall grade of "B", but what I was most interested in was its grade of "C" for student involvement.  I've been talking with freshman in the dorms and finding out if they were actually orientated when they came to SU to be sustainable (interviews to be posted tomorrow.)
  I've been in contact with the assistant director of ORL at SU and have a scheduled interview for Friday.  Although it's late, he's a busy man and has agreed to meet with me to help me get the facts straight.
  Are freshman really being told the do's and don't of the dorms to help save energy on campus?  Is the program effective, or are students too excited to be away from home and really don't care about saving a few extra seconds of running water or recycling that water bottle.
  I will post my interviews tomorrow and Friday...more to come!
