Name or title of the innovative policy, practice, program, or outcome:
Leave Green Market

A brief description of the innovative policy, practice, program, or outcome that outlines how credit criteria are met and any positive measurable outcomes associated with the innovation:
Some donated goods that are in good condition were kept during the annual Leave Green dormitory move out initiative in Spring 2023 by the organizers, Office of Residence Life.
These materials are repurposed in the Live Green Market: a cost-effective and sustainable option for incoming freshmen or other students to buy these items at more reasonable prices. The recycling of revenue collected from these sales will fund the needs of the Residence Hall Association, creating a self sustaining cycle of environmental and social impact, where the projects not only benefit students who purchase the items, but the broader community.
