NEWS:

It's Love-A-Mug Week at UVic and Muggo, our awkward yet mildly lovable coffee mug mascot, has been wandering around campus with members of the UVic Green Team. If they see you carrying a reusable mug they will give you a coupon for a free coffee or tea!

Friday February 27th also marks the 7th Environmental Round Table. If you are interested in taking action and collaborating with other students and community members, this is the perfect event for you. Through small group discussions & action planning, this event will foster a concrete shaping of sustainable project ideas. You will also be one step closer to applying for a UVSP sustainable grant for up to $500! The event is organized by the UVSP and... starts at 5:00PM in the Upper Lounge of the Student Union Building.

IdeaFest starts next Monday. Come join UVic thinkers, innovators and artists from across campus as they explore dozens of world changing ideas during this week long event starting March 2nd.
