MVSU says “Go Green” 10-30-2009

MISSISSIPPI VALLEY STATE UNIVERSITY IS PROMOTING "GOING GREEN". THE OFFICE OF SPONSORED PROGRAMS AT MISSISSIPPI VALLEY STATE UNIVERSITY HAS COLLECTED OLD CELL PHONES, LAP TOPS, P-D-A'S, AND OTHER ELECTRONIC DEVICES TO RECYCLE. THIS IS A PART OF PRESIDENT DR. DONNA OLIVER'S INITIATIVE FOR THE UNIVERSITY TO "GO GREEN." THE ELECTRONIC DEVICES ARE SENT TO ECO PHONES, A COMPANY THAT RECYCLES OLD ELECTRONICS AND GIVES MONEY FOR THEM. THE SCHOOL HAS DECIDED TO USE THE MONEY FOR A SPECIAL PURPOSE. STUDENTS RECEIVE TWO VOLUNTEER HOURS FOR EVERY DONATION. THE SCHOOL SAYS THEY ARE STILL ACCEPTING ELECTRONICS FROM STUDENTS AND PEOPLE IN THE COMMUNITY. TO GET MORE INFORMATION, YOU CAN CALL THE OFFICE OF SPONSORED PROGRAMS AT 662-254-1400.
