Orientation Training 2009: T-Shirt Reveal (Don't Stop Believin')

First, some background information: during Orientation, the volunteers wear different colors of t-shirts to denote their role. The information regarding the color is a highly guarded secret up until the final day of Orientation Training, in which the t-shirts are revealed. This year, the CSD staff decided to up the ante, with a little inspiration from the TV show Glee, and choreographed a dance routine to "Don't Stop Believin'" (a special thanks to Cathy and Vanessa for the choreography). 

Without further ado, I present the Orientation 2009 T-Shirt Reveal. 




p.s. I am sorry for the 2 month delay. Editing the video was quite grueling.

Sustainability Awareness Week and 30 Seconds with... Louise from ECOS

As you may have seen around campus, it's Sustainability Awareness Week! It's put on by the University Office of Sustainability, in partnership with the Students' Union, ECOS, Campus Sustainability Coalition, U of A Energy Club, CAPS, the faculty of Education, and the School of Energy and the Environment. 

From the SAW Website:

Sustainability Awareness Week (SAW) is filled with activities that will raise your awareness of the University of Alberta's efforts to 'green' our campus. We'll engage students, staff and faculty in a discussion of what they can do to help build a more sustainable campus. This year's events include outreach booths in SUB, lectures and panel discussions, the Voices of Nature community concert, and much more.

To check out what kind of events are happening, check out the SAW website.
 
I have decided this is an excellent time for the continuation of our ongoing series of video blogs. I present to you, 30 Seconds with Louise from ECOS. For more information on the Environmental Coordination Office of Students, please check out their website
