Okay, so I know I’ve been talking a lot about Greens, Greene, and now green<\/em>, but hear me out. As said before in “Into the Stacks<\/a>“, the research question that I held going into my university’s archives was something along the lines of “how does my university express its stance on environmental issues?”. Luckily, I was able to find several documents dating back to the 1970s that explored my university’s outlook on environmental concerns, for example, many of these documents focused on an ecological symposium that my university hosted called “The Crisis of Man’s Environment” (Major 1).<\/p>\n

But taking a look at the image above, you can see that many of these environmentalist sentiments still remain today. My university still remains dedicated to talking about the issues that affect our planet and what we, both academics and everyday people, can do to sustain the nature that surrounds us. Though my 1970 archival documents described the events that occurred during the Modern Environmental movement, following in the wake of books like Rachel Carson’s\u00a0Silent Spring<\/em>, the ideas behind these events continue to fuel the environmental efforts of SCU (“Silent Spring”). Just look at the sustainability efforts pictured in the image below, like the running hashtag #SustainableSCU (SCU).<\/p>\n

But enough about me, what are some of the things that my classmates unearthed from the far corners of the internet? Well Leslie (found here<\/a>) related her research on a student sports scandal between our university and UNM to more recent scandals found among universities (and their athletes and their coaches). She brings our university’s past into the context of both a ‘reoccurring’ theme of grade-fudging and student athlete scandals that have spread both across time and across schools.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
