Hi there,
Now that we have done such a great job with our symposium, we need to begin focusing on our own action plan: Paper reduction. To do this we have been splitting up tasks to each of our group members and week after week we have been meeting to discuss our individual progress. Chris and I have been working on getting double sided printers on campus, and to do this we need to discuss our ideas with different faculty members of the Medaille College community. We had a meeting yesterday with Nate, during which we discussed our desires for double-sided printers on campus. He was very interested with the idea, although directed us to the monatery aspects of this issue. The printers arent cheap to purchase and maintain, so we need to determine how and why Medaille needs these printers, especially in a more business-oriented approach. Currently, Chris and I are going to be planning a meeting with the company that supplies our computer printers and copying machines to discuss the cost issues. From there hopefully we can put together a successful cost-benefit analysis of the situation to pursuade the Medaille Cabinet to approve our request
