We’ve got another great field trip on October 21st for you centering around sustainability. I know what you are thinking, “Tastykake and Hershey for sustainability?” But we are serious. Did you know that Tastykake is a green bakery? Tastykake took what started as an abandoned industrial site and earned it LEED Silver Certification. LEED stands for Leadership in Energy and Environmental Design and it is awarded by the U.S. Green Building Council. LEED is a rating system for green buildings. Once we’ve got our fill of krimpets we’ll take a trip to the sweetest place on earth and learn about Hershey Corps Corporate Social Responsibility department.
So my advice to you would be to workout on Monday and join us for this awesome trip on Tuesday! (Time off campus will be 7am until 7:30pm)
Here are more details, but more importantly here is where to sign up (by 10/14)- space is limited to 20!: http://bucknell.experience.com/stu/public_event_profile?event_hnd=464887
Students will first take a tour of Tastykake in Philadelphia, learn about this green bakery and hear about opportunities for internship and jobs within the organization. Students will then travel to the Hershey Corporation to hear from the Corporate Social Responsibility and University Relations departments. The trip will end with a visit to Hershey’s Chocolate World.
