It’s a scavenger hunt of the sustainability kind that will hopefully prove to be both fun and informative for the SIUE community, according to Connie Frey Spurlock, associate professor in the Department of Sociology and Criminal Justice, who spearheaded the creation of a new mobile application.
She introduced the new sustainability app to the University community at the end of April. The application only works while on the SIUE campus.
Currently, the app highlights 20 sustainability points of interest. When users click on a point of interest located on the map, information is given for that sustainability feature. Some of the sites to visit on the new app include:
- Natural Connections’ Student Food Garden
- Zip cars
- Bike repair station
- The Student Organization for Sustainability (SOS) office
- The Student Success Center green roof
- School of Engineering Annex
- SIUE Nature Preserve
