To kick-off the partnership, students received plantable paper Valentines at the assembly that will grow into wildflowers, demonstrating the ability to reuse and reduce materials. - The Bureau of Services for the Visually Impaired (BSVI) has been incorporated into the university's vending program, with the goal of diversifying the supplier base and providing meaningful employment opportunities for individuals with visual impairments.
