CUI's 5k Annual Eagle Run in COLOR
The 5k Eagle Run started five years ago in an effort to unite the Concordia Family and Orange County community to raise funds and awareness for organizations in our eagle family. This year, ASCUI decided to add a fun aspect to the run by adding Color! ASCUI also decided that this year's proceeds will benefit the Around-the-World Semester® III.
$10- CUI Students
$20- Non-Students
Register during lunch, online, or the morning of the event!
Parking Committee
Gianna Kozel
Plausible ideas from other schools
Charging resident (and possibly commuter) students to receive a parking permit to reduce number of cars and promote carpooling.
Hiring a parking service during the busiest weeks of the semester to double park cars in certain lots and increase lot capacity.
Rent space in an off-campus lot and provide a trolley service to campus for the staff that arrives and leaves at a fixed time every day. (ex: Aramark workers, Bon Appetit staff)
East Lot Complaints
Common complaints about parking in the East Lot:
Spaces too narrow
Hard to get into/out of spaces
Not enough lighting
Not enough Campus Safety patrol
Parking spaces in the East Lot (Egypt)
One paint line striper costs $75.00.
The aerosol spray paint cans come in packs of twelve that would cost around $59.00 per pack.
Each can sprays 140 feet.
Possible difficulties
Removing old lines
Emptying parking lot during repainting
It is feasible that Concordia maintenance workers could repaint the lines if the school provided the supplies and dimensions needed.
Angled Space Options
While repainting these lines would make access safer and easier, with the East Lot’s dimensions and dividers, angling the spaces would likely lower the number of spots.
Light Fixture Possibilities
High Pressure Sodium Parking Lot Light Fixture
$374.00
15-30 Tall
Golden, amber-white light color
26 Watt LED Pole Mount Area Light
$257.00
15-30 feet tall
Cool white light color
LED uses less energy, so costs less to maintain, and lasts longer.
Recycling Committee
Braden Delannoy, Erika Boychenko, Keegan Maag and Maxwell Redekker
Why should we recycle?
Being good stewards of the world as well as our campus
Helping our generation and generations to come
Concordia University Irvine is growing year by year and environmental awareness logically follows growth
Recycling is becoming a norm across the country, including college campuses
Dream Machine is already in use
Continuing the trend
What can recycling do?
Recycling one aluminum can saves the equivalent energy of operating a television set for 3 hours and recycling two aluminum cans saves the equivalent of powering a PC for one workday.
If the aluminum cans thrown away in the United States in a recent year had been recycled, it would have saved enough energy to generate electricity for 2.7 million homes for that year.
