Kent State University is competing with nearly 200 colleges and universities during RecycleMania through April 1, to promote recycling and prevent waste from going into landfills.
RecycleMania is an eight-week competition during which colleges report the amount of recycling and trash collected each week. They are then ranked based on which schools have the best recycling rate as a percentage of total waste, which schools recycle the most per capita and which schools have the least amount of trash and recycling combined.
Kent State University students are finding success in the exploratory program designed for students who have not settled on one of nearly 300 majors offered at the university.
Daniel Berger and Celeste Dawson were like most Kent State students coming to college – excited, nervous and a little bit confused. In general, they were not sure of their exact academic paths.
