Danielle Bilot with Travis Torline at the Campus Sustainability SummitOn April 18, 2019, Environmental Design Lecturer Danielle Bilot presented her praxis work at the Campus Sustainability Summit for the renovation of ÃÛÌÇÖ±²¥ parking lots and engaged new campus services into joining the efforts to promote bee diversity. During the recognition ceremony, Travis Torline, president of the ÃÛÌÇÖ±²¥ Bee Club, was awarded a Campus Sustainability Award for committed service and leadership within the club.

The ÃÛÌÇÖ±²¥ Bee Club, along with Bilot as faculty advisor, began last August and grew to hundreds of members across campus in less than a year. The club has participated in numerous volunteer events across the greater ÃÛÌÇÖ±²¥ Campus, as well as the City of Boulder, including biodiversity planting days and converting campus cafés to use local honey.
