爱荷华州中央校区本周进行了一次额外的春季大扫除，以纪念地球日。

来自爱荷华州中央学生会、TRIO和Phi Theta Kappa的大约20名学生带着水桶和垃圾袋聚集在一起，在校园和停车场周围捡拾垃圾和碎片。

“It’s a big once a year project,” said Austin Layton, a student who works on the Iowa Central Buildings and Grounds crew. “This is part of our job every day, but for a day in the spring we get the students and staff involved and it helps us out so much.”

泰根·奥斯本（Teighan Osborne）自愿在学生会度过了一个下午，她拿起一个水桶和一个抓取工具，帮助收集停车场里的垃圾。

“We try to do as many service projects in Student Senate as we can,” said Osborne. “It’s a great day to be out here for Earth Day, but also because there are a lot of things on campus coming up.”

惠特尼·埃尔金（Whitney Elkin）与TRIO的一群学生和员工一起参加了清理活动。

“One of our activities as part of TRIO is assisting with community service projects,” said Elkin.

林赛·尼尔森和奥利维亚·安德森自愿成为Phi Theta Kappa的成员。

“We’re glad to be out here today helping,” said Nelsen. “With the musical and graduation coming, that means a lot of people will be visiting the campus and it’s important to have everything looking nice.”

“It’s great to have everyone helping,” said Layton. “Everything will be looking perfect for spring events and graduation.”
