The student members of SERC (Sustainability, Energy, & Resources Collaborative) warmly
invites your faculty, staff, and students to visit their newly acquired Off-Grid Box
(OGB) on display in the Student Union Plaza parking lot on Hester from Monday through
Friday, April 15-19, 2013 (This was purchased by students with SGA green funds to
foster interdisciplinary collaborative research for their beloved faculty and increase
student awareness about food, energy, and water.)
