By that, we mean that 90% or more of the waste generated by Reunions events is recycled or composted instead of being hauled to a landfill.<\/p>\n<p>Here&#8217;s what you can expect to see on Grounds during Reunions:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li><strong>Reduced paper at check-in. <\/strong>Instead of printing paper agendas for each guest, we\u2019ll rely on the use of a mobile app and website for information sharing.<\/li>\n<li><strong>More sustainable hydration. <\/strong>Instead of using plastic water bottles at events, you&#8217;ll find refill stations (to be used with compostable cups or your own beverage container).<\/li>\n<li><strong>Composting at large events featuring food and beverage.<\/strong> Plates, cups, utensils and napkins at your evening class events will either be compostable or reusable.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Multiple types of waste bins. <\/strong>Instead of just trash bins, you&#8217;ll see recycling, composting and trash bins at large events featuring food and beverage. If you&#8217;re not sure where to toss an item, refer to the signage on the bins or ask a member of the catering team.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/div><\/div><\/div>\n<div class=\"accordion-item\"><h2

whether to hold events outdoors or indoors, and these decisions often must be made as early as 9 a.m. for the entire day. This early call gives our partners (caterers, rental companies, AV\/lighting companies, University facilities, event staff, etc.) time to adjust their logistics and move materials for these large-scale events.<\/p>\n<p>Please know that we want nothing more than to host all our events (especially dinners) in their original outdoor locations. Nothing can compare to a dinner on the Lawn! However, the reality of summer in Virginia is that we must make the best decision we can with the information we have at the time we have it.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Inclement weather locations are listed in the description of each event. If the Alumni Association makes the decision to move an event, you will receive an email from the Alumni Association, and if you opt to download the UVA Alumni Events app you will receive a push notification<\/strong>.
