"There are grants for non-land grant colleges to develop higher ed programs in sustainable agriculture. There is one in particular that is offered by USDA once a year…using the RFP goes out in late spring or early summer. you would need considerable faculty and institutional support, however, to get a grant like this."

2) Data that will be essential for our project is a soil sample that we have collected and are in the process of sending off to get analyzed so we can see how fertile the land is, and what could potentially grow at hurricane creek. We also need an idea on the amount of money that will be earned by selling all the pine trees on the property (est. of $30K-$50K). Lastly we need estimates of basic farming equipment that will be needed for farming and maintaining the land, such as a tractor and tiller.
3) Our target audience is Thomas Dove of UNG's chow, as a means on implementing sustainable agriculture into the UNG food system.

1) Kelly West, Senior Lecturer for the Biology Department. Her phone number is: 706-867-2704 and her email is: kelly.west@ung.edu. She gave us clues on what to look for to assess the health of a tree by looking to find if there are other creatures living in the trees and by noting the condition of the mulch and dirt around the base of the tree
2) Map and Identify Species of tree around the Hoag student center and the North Georgia Suites.
Contact external sources for verification of correct tree species identification and the book “Guide to Southern Trees” by Ellwood S. Harrar and J. George Harrar, which will help determine which species are native, and how common they are, and their overall characteristics. Conduct research and determine what trees would be most beneficial for the North Georgia Dahlonega campus environment
Finally, develop a powerpoint presentation of our findings with listings of specific tree types around campus and a list of what trees could possibly be more beneficial to the environment instead. Also include possible plans of action toward tree policy on campus or future recommendations for future groups to pick up where we left off.
3) Our target audience is Charles (Skipper) Bryant 706-867-3580 skipper.bryant@ung.edu groundskeeper supervisor/manager at UNG  to send our information to in order to develop a baseline for routine tree maintenance, help protect biodiversity on campus, and identify where new trees can be planted. (All for future UNG management).

Jordan.barron@compass-usa.com
We tried callling but no answer, left a voicemail. We will also get in contact with resource people from GT, Georgia Southern, and UGA.
2. The data collected will be what other schools did in order to bring more local food to their campuses. We will collect percentages of local foods, costs of the local foods, and how it has helped their campus overall. We will also be collecting opinions of the UNG campus, and what percentage of the students on campus would eat food that was grown locally, and what foods already provided by UNG that are more plant-based do students already enjoy.
3. Our target audience is both the students at UNG, in hopes to bring attention to how locally grown foods can be just as good as food brought in from far away, and also to the UNG Dining Services to show what they can do to dining services in order to bring more locally grown foods in.

2) We will compute out the total water usage for HNS, which will acquire from facilities manager who is in charge of water usage. We will then calculate how much water we could harvest with minimal investment and use it cut down on city water usage and how much money the school can save annually. Also, we will show how this can be implemented on a larger scale and can be used when new buildings are constructed.
3) Our target office would be:
Micheal Bodri - he is the dean of sciences and mathematics. This would directly impact his department nd allow his department to have more environmental samples to study, not just what a weather machine on the roof reads off.
Bonita Jacobs - the president of the school supports it enough she can be the one who will give a green light on implementing the system on a larger scale and in new buildings.
Facilities - would possibly provide more job opportunities with someone to manage this new system if were to be used on a large scale.

2. Our project will take place as follows: First we will identify the bare areas that still need some work, which we have done. Next, we will get into contact with Mr. Hyams to find out how we can go about implementing our plan. We will then get a few loads of organic leaf matter, grass seed, and tools needed to sew new grass. Once we have all of the materials, we will then implement our project. We will take photos before and after we perform our project to see how well the area looks once we have finished. We will also be doing some research on why organic leaf matter makes for a better medium for the new grass to grow, as opposed to other materials.

3. Our target audience will be Mr. Hyams himself, as well as anyone in facilities that does this type of work around campus. We will do this in hopes of providing them with useful information on why and what medium works best for the new grass to grow, so they can implement the data we provided them in other similar projects to come around campus.

Arianna Disser

Email: AEDISS5851@ung.edu

Arianna is the Water Lab manager here at UNG. We have contacted her about tests that are needed to be run.

She will be giving us fecal bottles that are needed to run the tests necessary for our project.

We will be meeting with her in the lab on Friday morning to discuss the steps needed to complete the last test and finalize the data for the project.

2)Data Summarization:
We will be collecting rain/storm water in a few different places around campus:

Road next to Gaillard Hall

Parking lot behind the library

Parking lot behind the new convocation center

Main point: Behind MLC

The tests we will be conducting are:

PH acidity

Turbidity

Fecal matter

Conductivity

Temperature

The main flow area behind the MLC gives us a base reading for the levels of all of these tests before we collect the storm surge water.

3) Target Audience:
Project manager(s) at UNG.  The Water Lab Management team. We hope that if we find significant data and if we find a better solution for run-off water, that future projects and the individuals constructing that project, will be able to implement our ideas.

Green Roof on HNS- Thur. 3:30 Lab.

Arah Berry, Jacqueline Eckles, Carl Smith, and Brantley Adcock

1)      Contact at least one RESOURCE PERSON.

We contacted Dr. Ashlee McCaskill. Her phone number is 706-864-1954 and her email is ashlee.mccaskill@ung.edu. The information she gave us for our project was “the best type of sedum to use would be one of the low growing varieties that forms a dense mat (also called creeping sedums).  Sedum tetractinum, S. scre, S. album, and S. kamshaticum are all recommended for drought prone environments.” We met with her in her recently gather some trays she is allowing us to borrow for our project to plant sedums.

The other person we contacted was Jim from Saul Nurseries. Who told us that “this time of year [their] inventory is slim.” The following plants are what he recommended that we put on a green roof for this time of year:

Sedum tectractinum

Delsperma ice plant

Blue spruce

Taka cements

For each plant, a flat of 18 plants would cost $27.

His email contact is Jim@saulnurseries.com.

2)      The DATA that will be in the final product for our project are the following:

Temperatures and water quality data will be gathered from three different sedum trays to show the best choice for sedums for a green roof.

Rainfall data that will be gathered and compared to other studies to show what size green roof would work best for HNS for storm water drainage.

For our graphs and excel sheet we will have temperature in Fahrenheit and water quality by PH paper testing for each tray, which will be labeled by the name of the sedums in the tray.

The rainfall data will be on a separate slide in the power point with our calculations and comparison against other studies.

3. Target Audience. Our target audiences are the faculty and students of UNG, specifically next semester’s environmental science groups. We would like them to continue our project and eventually establish a green roof onto HNS.

1) The first resource person we contacted to get some insight on current residence hall recycling was a Resident Assistant in the Commons, Daniel Brown, who also was the former president of the environmental club. We asked if any of his residents questioned him on recycling, or if he had told them about recycling when they moved in. He stated "they haven't asked, but they have been informed on where to take it and what to recycle." This will be beneficial to see if the information on where recycling is on campus RA's give to their residents is a factor that will increase how much residents recycle, and if RA's are required to inform residents. Daniel Brown, Resident Assistant, 770-655-7762,   djbrown@ung.edu
2) Choosing a cost effective recycling bin, and we will display the costs of how much it will be to have one in each room on campus in a chart.
-Collecting data on the costs of recycling and trash pick up for residence halls now, to how much it would be with a new bin, and the amount of money that could be saved in the future. This information will be displayed in a table.
- Finding an adhesive paint that is also cost-effective and can be painted on recycling bins to promote the location of where recycling needs to be taken.

3) Our target audience for our project is Residence Life, specifically the Director of residence life, Treva Smith, who will be able to inform us on the recycling program in the dorms, and at the end of our research and data collection we will hopefully be able to propose a plan to Res Life about a uniform recycling approach that is cost effective for the university. We hope by going through residence life that residents will in turn be more prone to recycle by being aware of locations of bins and having better bins available to them.

1. Our resource person was the head librarian, Joy Bolt, and we contacted her through email discussing the recycling system in the UNG Library. Joy Bolt quickly responded to our email and simply stated that all the library does in order to help with recycling in the library is " provide the recycling containers on each floor".   Joy Bolt, Head Librarian, 706-864-1514, joy.bolt@ung.edu

2. Our data for our project is simply measuring the amounts of paper found in both the recycling and trash bins on all floors of the UNG library. Every time we go into the library, we have taken pictures to summarize our findings of paper in each of the bins, and will eventually graph the data based on what paper was found in the recycling bins and what paper was found in the trash can bins.

3. Our target audience is the Head Librarian, Joy Bolt. We plan to meet with her to discuss our recordings and suggest adding more recycling bins in the library, next to each trash can bin, in order to make recycling more convenient for UNG Students, and determining the cost of purchasing more recycling bins. We hope she will see the results of our data, as well as our poll asking students if they recycle when it is convenient for them, as persuasive enough to add more recycling bins to the library in order to promote recycling paper.

Resource person: The first people we contacted was Auxiliary Services, specifically Parking and Transportation services. From there we were sent to Beverly Martin. Beverly is the Parking and Transportation Manager. When we emailed Beverly, April Robinson with Parking Services responded asking for specific questions we were asking so that she could give us any answers that Parking Services had on file or recorded. We are still waiting to hear back with the information regarding our questions. We asked the following questions.

-What is the gas efficiency of the current shuttle busses, some specifics in miles per gallon, and average miles driven per week and per day?

-Do the buses have a set route every day? What is that route if there is one, and if not, do they have set stops on and off campus?

- Do you have a rough idea of how many students ride the shuttles total a day or week?

Beverly Martin- Parking and Transportation Manager

Email: Beverly.Martin@ung.edu

Phone: 706-864-1697

April Robinson- Staff Associate at Parking Services Dahlonega

Email: april.robinson@ung.edu

Phone: 706-864-1697

Data: We will use data from auxiliary services about the current bus systems and MPG, we are going to use a mapping app to show different routes that bus systems currently sues and routes we believe will be more efficient. We will also use our survey to show how many people will be wiling use the shuttle if it came to their apartment complex. Our survey will ask questions such as which how many times they drive to campus per week. How long they spend searching for parking, if a shuttle were to come to your apartment complex would you ride it.

Target Audience: The target audience for the proposed changes and improvements to our shuttle system here at the University of North Georgia will be the manager for parking and transportation services, Beverly Martin, the Implementation Steering Committee of our University, lead by Dr. Janet Marling, and the owners of the apartment complexes that we will input new Shuttle pickups in, Dahlonega Rental Properties, managed and operated by Roberta Green. Our audience includes these parties because for Auxiliary services to input changes into the current system, it would need the approval of financial input into the system, approval from the Implementation Steering Committee, and from the owners of the two apartment complexes that these pickups will be located. Our final target audience will be the students riding these shuttles, because in the end, the participation in these suggested systems will determine if the changes remain in place or not. We hope these suggestions improve the systems of transportation here at the University, and will promote the growth of the student body through the availability of space and freedom of movement on campus, and around Dahlonega.

We also contacted Robin Fay- Manager of Technical Service, Assoc. Prof. of Library Services 7-6-864-1807, robin.fay@ung.edu today and we are hopeful to receive a quick response.
We also spoke with Scott Hogan who works at IT and he referred us to the UNG Library and IT personnel.
2)  Final Project Data
- A list of all printers that can duplex print around campus and in the library
-Survey students to identify if they know what duplex printing is and how to utilize it
- Create a pie chart or bar chart to visually represent those data result
- Sample and ask about the default printing setting and see if it is possible to change those settings
- Figure out the potential for duplex printing as the default
- Measure how much paper is being used daily in the library (or how much a single printer uses)
- Identify the cost of a case and a ream of paper
- Discover if we still purchase simplex printers
3) Target Audience
- IT Services
- UNG Students
- UNG Faculty
We will send our final project to IT Services because if duplex printing is put into effect around campus, they will be the ones that will have the biggest impact on implementing these changes.

We have contacted Residence Life (residencelife@ung.edu) and emailed them specifically asking them to forward our survey to all suites residents. As well as that we have contacted our three specific RA's and their names are Grant Hill, Megan Eslinger, and Kathrine Maloof. We have completed a waste audit and the data that we have is how full the recycling bin was before our posters. We also brought in data about the percentage of recyclable objects within the trash bins. We will be presenting this data on a pie chart. Our target audience is the residence of the NG Suites as well as the RA's. The RA's are instrumental because if the Suites can show positivities, it could spill over into the other residence halls. The posters that we will be posting will have our final results and pie charts that will hopefully influence recycling.

1) We made contact with our resource person. His name is Ned Flanders and he has the following quote, "compost is the most awesome material that has ever been conceived, to make it you mix 60% browns and 40% greens." His contact info is 706-499-POOP and ned_poop@ung.edu. 2) Our data for our project is a list of compostable materials from Chow Hall which includes: salad bar waste, vegetable trimmings and coffee grounds measured on 2 days using spring scales. The data will be organized according to compost type and lbs. 3) Upon completion of the project we will submit our results to Ned Flanders and his four employees, ARAMARK, and Gerald Sullivan of Auxilary Services. We hope they may separate these materials and make them available to local farmers for composting.
