2024 - Eagles Sustainability Competition
The Eagles Sustainability Competition challenges teams of undergraduate students to propose solutions to a sustainability-related issue on Boston College鈥檚 campus. In 2024, 亚色影库 Dining served as the campus partner, tasking students with addressing food waste on campus. Teams were required to be interdisciplinary, with at least two different academic majors represented, and to present data-driven solutions. University librarians provided a Sustainability Research Guide and led a research session to support students. Final presentations were 15-minute pitches judged by faculty, staff, and alumni.
