After months and months of planning, the Steinhardt Undergraduate Student Government put on "Project Green Scene"--a musical and fashion collaborative to raise money for Reverb Rock, an eco-friendly music organization.
Traditionally, Steinhardt has a music showcase in March in which numerous Steinhardt students have the opportunity to perform in front of their peers. However, this year we wanted to do something a little different. So, we initially added the fashion component to it--a huge asset--because we wanted to get the word out about other artistic genres.
We then decided to "go green" with the event and be as environmental as possible. We did not print programs but rather projected one on a screen at the back of the stage. In order for people to vote for their favorite musical performers, they had to put coins into recyclable soda bottles. The money would then be donated to Reverb.
The event ended up being rather successful and it was so much fun seeing all the diverse talent that Steinhardt and Tisch students have to offer. Tonight at the USG Executive Board meeting we began planning for next year's event so we can make it even bigger and better but for now, we're just proud of the event we were able to put on thanks to so many people's hard work!

I heard great things were going on and was happy about "going green". Look forward to next year.
Keep up the great work!
