I haven’t been this excited in a long time! After days of practicing for (and tweeting about) my meeting with President Herbst, it finally happened.

President Herbst’s support is key to passing a university-wide zero waste policy, so we decided to try and get a meeting with her.

We decided to drop in on her when she opened up her office for trick or treating for Halloween. Our plan was to speak briefly and deliver a letter asking for a more formal meeting later.  But we got the meeting on the spot!

We talked for ten or fifteen minutes and delivered the letter to her and within 24 hours she got back to us to set up another meeting with her Chief Operating Officer Barry Feldman to discuss the policy further. All in all, this was a total success

Thanks President Herbst for opening your door to students and listening to our concerns.  I look forward to the next meeting.
