Beginning in mid-April, Spalding University will be changing procedures for waste disposal and recycling. Spalding is partnering with QRS Recycling to implement “Single Stream Recycling.” The new recycling program is a no sort, cost effective, simple and efficient method of recycling more and wasting less. It is worth repeating, “Single Stream Recycling” eliminates sorting. You simply place cardboard, paper, aluminum and tin cans, and plastic bottles into one container and leave the sorting to us! It’s quick, simple, and takes up less valuable space in your work environment. It’s all about being more efficient and environmentally responsible. Recycling containers will be labeled in offices, class rooms and public areas. For non-recyclable items trash containers will be located in public areas near class rooms and offices. Bins like those above will replace the old dumpsters on campus.
You will now be able to recycle all forms of paper, envelopes, junk mail, magazines, notebooks, non-waxed cardboard, water and soda bottles, cans, empty paper cups, food containers, paper bags and more. You do not need to remove staples, binding, or paper clips.
Items that are not recyclable by QRS and must be disposed of as trash include Styrofoam, plastic grocery bags, food, restroom paper and Kleenex.
A complete list of items that can be recycled is in the document below.

Thanks to Kevin Weber, Facilities Manager, and the Green Initiative team for bringing these changes to campus.

Beginning this March with session 4 courses, all course evaluations will be conducted online. The evaluations will be administered through a program called EvaluationKit. Students will be invited to take the course evaluation survey through email. They can use a link in the email to find their surveys. They may also access surveys through a link on the tools menu under the My Institution page in Blackboard or the tools list on course pages in Blackboard. EvaluationKit is specifically designed for conducting course evaluations. All submissions are anonymous and faculty do not see the results until 2 weeks after the end of the course. Online course evaluations will save approximately 20,000 pieces of paper annually at Spalding!
Student participation in the course evaluation process is crucial. The results of the surveys are used by faculty to continuously improve instruction, course materials and subject matter. The results are also used in the University’s evaluation of faculty performance. More information is available at /about/technology/course-evaluation/, including a calendar of future surveys.
Please take a few minutes to complete the online surveys when you receive an email announcement. The emails will be sent to your Spalding email account, so be sure to check that or forward it to another account. For instructions on linking your email to your mobile device, visit /about/technology/spalding-mobile-access/.
