Beautiful U Day 2009
Thursday, April 23

Beautiful U Day has changed through the years. What started as a day-long event to spruce up the campus has evolved into a commitment to campus beautification and sustainability through student involvement, employee contributions and community collaborations.

This year, we're rolling out a campus-wide energy conservation program, teaming up with Spring Jam to clean two area parks, and calling on members of the University community to Beautify the space around them.

Beautiful U Day Kick Off
Electrical Engineering and Computer Sciences Building
8:00 a.m.

The University of Minnesota has set the goal of reducing energy consumption by five percent by the end of 2010. Everyone on campus has a role to play. And it All Adds Up.

Learn more about energy campus programs and share your ideas for getting involved. Join a collaborative student-led dialogue at "Energy Matters - It All Adds Up."
