It’s always the Environmental Club’s biggest event, so I’m glad it’s finally coming together. It should be even bigger and better than last year’s – and hopefully the [...]

by Jeanne March 7, 2012

Do you have a class where you don’t necessarily hate it, but you have the hardest time understanding it? Okay, maybe a little hate is in the mix. Biology [...]

It’s Just Around the Corner…

by Marielle November 11, 2011

Okay, don’t hate me for this, but I’m about to do a reallllll quick plug for Christmas here. I KNOW, I KNOW, IT’S NOT EVEN THANKSGIVING YET. Trust me, I’m aware, and I am super duper pumped for T-day and I’m not trying to delegitimize it at all. Now. That being said, Christmas is just [...]

Well, we are officially a solid 3 weeks into the semester and I already feel like I’ve been here 3 months. And shockingly, I don’t think that’s a bad thing. Honestly, I think it’s great that I can just get right back into the Fontbonne routine and feel at home. Love it here! Anyway, back [...]

Let’s Go Terracycling!

by Marielle March 9, 2011

For those of you who don’t know, back in November, Fontbonne signed up to be a part of Terracycle. Terracycle is an “up-cycling” company whose mission is to take what normally is considered trash and turn it into something new. This isn’t your run-of-the-mill recycling, though – Terracycle is all about turning candy wrappers into [...]

Have an Eco-friendly Valentine’s Day!!

by Marielle February 15, 2011

However, I still wanted to talk a bit about last Thursday’s RHA/FAB sponsored Valentine’s Dinner and about having an environmentally friendly holiday. The dinner was a great time for everyone involved, but I was extra excited because the Environmental Club [...]
