About Us

The Green Cardinal Initiative is a group of students, faculty, and staff at Saginaw Valley State University who are interested in creating a more sustainable future. This website allows students, alumni, faculty, staff and community members to sign up to be a Green Cardinal and to join in the conversation. Based on funding from the Allen Foundation, SVSU’s WIRED grant from the Department of Labor, and the SVSU Foundation we are working on several projects including, recycling waste from our Dining Services into organic fertilizer, creating sustainable hydroponics systems for inner city urban areas, developing renewable options for fossil fuels, Vermiponics, and raising environmental awareness on campus and throughout Mid-Michigan. Please join us by registering as a Green Cardinal !

Green-themed Study Abroad in China in Spring 2010

Written by Brian Thomas

Tuesday, 29 September 2009

How are you going to spend your summer? Flipping burgers? Sitting in a classroom? Watching the world through the glass of some tour bus?

Or…

Are you going to spend the night on the Great Wall of China? Use Global Positioning Systems to travel in small groups through Beijing? Learn about Chinese culture while eating Peking duck with a group of fellow students? Study the environment by working on an organic farm in a remote part of southern China?

This is not your ordinary study abroad trip…

If you want to understand how the development of the most populous country in the world is changing China’s economy, environment, and culture, this is the trip for you.

Space is limited so apply now to participate in Dr. Brian Thomas’s 2010 Study Abroad trip to the People’s Republic of China.
