ICM postdoctoral fellow Sarvenaz Sarabipour was one of thirteen members of the Johns Hopkins community who were honored by the Office of Sustainability at the 10th Annual Green Blue Jay Awards ceremony on April 17. The thirteen award winners were selected for their efforts contributing to sustainability-related dialogue and action in the areas of peer engagement, operational improvements, events and programming, and academics.

Sarabipour received the Wacky and Wonderful Award, which recognizes an effort that goes outside the box to creatively advance sustainability values and action at Hopkins. Each day on her way to work, Sarabipour walk through alleys behind fraternity and sorority houses to collect cups and other items littering the alleys and recycle them. She also documented the number of cups collected and used them to teach her students about sustainability.

The 10th Annual Blue Jay Awards ceremony and each award winner were featured in The Hub. READ MORE>>>
