Fairfield County Campus Wins 1st Annual Green Coast Award
NORWALK, CONN. , November 22, 2008 — University of Phoenix’s Fairfield County campus is going green and has the award to prove it. The campus was one of 50 community vendors that participated in the first annual Green Faire at the Bartlet Arboretum in Stamford. The Fairfield County campus was nominated and selected by the community for the first annual “Green Coast Award.”
The Green Coast Awards were developed to honor and recognize business and organizations in Fairfield County that are socially and environmentally responsible, promote sustainability, have high ethical standards and make conscious decisions to improve their communities and the health of our planet. Nominees were researched to verify that they met the criteria, and the winners were selected by community members voting at consciousdecisionsmag.com. The Fairfield County campus was recognized during a reception on November 5.
“University of Phoenix – Fairfield County is so proactive, has such a great sense of responsibility and is truly a role model for the community,” said Daphne Dixon, Green Faire/Conscious Decisions event coordinator.
The Green Faire brought people from Fairfield County together to learn how to live green and responsible lives. University of Phoenix’s Fairfield County campus was among exhibitors ranging from holistic health experts and eco-friendly builders, to guided nature walks and renewable energy experts, and even master gardeners. Experts provided tips about eco-living, and making a positive difference to improve communities, businesses and the global environment.
