Title A name given to the resource Untangling the Invaders; I’ve Got 99 Problems and They’re All Vines: A Survey of Invasive and Problematic Vines on the Vassar College Campus Subject The topic of the resource invasive species Description An account of the resource Invasive vines such as Oriental Bittersweet have proliferated across the Northeastern United States (Kurtz 2018). These vines wrap around and strangle trees, block sunlight from reaching the undercanopy, and hinder animal (including human) activity (Delisle 2018). Vassar College, located in Poughkeepsie, New York, is not immune to the problems of invasive vines; of particular concern are species such as Oriental Bittersweet, Porcelain Berry, and English Ivy, which crowd out native species, ultimately degrading local ecosystems and their integrity. The Preserve at Vassar has worked to treat the invasive vine problem by surveying the Preserve, removing vines, and planting native plants to promote healthy ecosystems. On the Vassar campus, however, vine removal occurs only through manual removal by Facilities Operations personnel. Due to understaffing, vine removal cannot occur regularly, methodically, or efficiently (Jager, Lasher, VanCamp, 2024). In this study, we aim to collect more information about where invasive vines are located at Vassar College through a campus survey.

Title A name given to the resource Vassar College Dormitory Lighting Audit Subject The topic of the resource energy usage Description An account of the resource The production of electricity is known to be a gargantuan contributor to global climate change. In 2018, it was responsible for approximately 41% of all global carbon dioxide (CO2) emissions, amounting to a total of 13.6 billion tons of CO2 emissions (Naimoli, & Ladislaw, 2020). One large consumer of electricity is lighting, especially on Vassar’s campus. We analyzed electricity use in dormitories to estimate related CO2 emissions and recommend ways to reduce Vassar’s carbon footprint. That way, we could make recommendations for ways to reduce Vassar’s carbon footprint through reducing the electricity consumption.
