For the fifth year in a row, Winthrop University
participated in America Recycles Day. This was a
nationwide event which emphasized recycling and buying recycling
products. Faculty, staff and students were given the opportunity
to fill out a pledge card through e-mail and by coming by the
Student Center on certain days. Over 390 members of
the Winthrop community took the challenge to recycle and buy
recycled products this coming year. To find out more
