There’a a petition in Eaton, a congratulatory poster and an Eaton hall theme about it. An uninformed visitor walking by door after door of Beezer placards is forced to question: “What is this ‘Beezer’?”

Students at the University of Miami know that going green is important. But knowing how they can tackle the issue directly might be more difficult. This Saturday is an opportunity for students, specifically architecture students, to learn how they can make a difference. The Emerging Green Builders (EGB) along with the Center for Urban and Community Design will host the Tropical Vernacular Architecture symposium. The symposium is designed to educate both architecture students and local professionals about the benefits of sustainable living and design in relation to tropical climates.

Through the combined efforts of an up-and-coming organization, a student-run garden may soon be sprouting on campus; bringing with it a sense of community, responsibility and a chance to get your hands dirty. The organization responsible for this green initiative is known as the Comm”U”nity Garden—or will be soon. The group is awaiting COSO’s approval to become mandated and make it official.
