NMU ATHLETICS’ ROLE IN MEETING CARBON NEUTRALITY GOALS
Beyond the building renovations mentioned above, NMU Athletics has been working to improve efficiencies and reduce its footprint in other areas of operations. For example, the volleyball team has been leading the way regarding sustainability practices within athletic teams. Their efforts were highlighted in a video titled “Serving as an Example: Small Sustainability Steps to Make a Big Difference,” created by Makaylee Kuhn and Dr. Mark Shevy and showcased at the Fresh Coast Film Festival earlier this fall.
