University of Arkansas Clinton School of Public Service students Read Admire, Jordan Butler, Anne Haley and Maddy Salzman will be representing the Clinton School at the Clinton Global Initiative–University (CGI U) March 6-8 at the University of Miami.
Each year, CGI U hosts a meeting where students, university representatives, topic experts, and celebrities come together to discuss and develop innovative solutions to pressing global challenges. President Clinton and Chelsea Clinton will host CGI U 2015 at the University of Miami in Coral Gables, Florida. The meeting will bring together more than 1,100 students to make a difference in CGI U’s five focus areas: education, environment and climate change, peace and human rights, poverty alleviation, and public health.
Admire’s project rEvolution is a proposed composting/education service. He has partnered with a team of local urban farmers and Little Rock Parks and Recreation in order to collect and compost local food waste at various sites around Central Arkansas. Compost produced will be used to supplement other natural fertilizers in the Arkansas Hunger Relief Alliance/Western Hills Park Gleaning Garden.
Butler, Haley, and Salzman’s project Clinton Cycles is a proposed bike share program dedicated to providing cheaper, easier, and more environmentally friendly transportation options for the Clinton School community. It will include a fleet of 12 bicycles with three docking stations in the downtown Little Rock area.
Admire and Haley are from Little Rock, Ark.; Butler is from Jackson, Miss.; and Salzman is from Wellesley, Mass.
