Modeled
after the national Adopt-A-Highway program, the URI
Adopt-A-Walkway program works buy giving all students,
faculty and staff the opportunity to keep campus walkways
litter-free. All you have to do is choose a walkway
and sign a pledge volunteering to keep it clean. A recognition
sign with your's group's name will be installed along
your walkway.
All
URI groups, including student organizations, residence
halls, URI 101, fraternities, sororities, academic majors
and employees working in every building on campus are
welcome to participate. Your members can volunteer to
pick up litter everyday, or you can volunteer together
as a group once a week.You get the satisfaction of keeping
URI clean and beautiful,with a recognition sign for
everyone to see, and URI receives the benefit of your
energy and enthusiasm.
