The McGraw Center for Teaching and Learning recently completed renovations to its kitchen space, which included installing a new dishwasher, and purchasing new reusable items to reduce waste and environmental impact.

The renovations were partially financed through the High Meadows Foundation Sustainability Fund, a seed fund overseen by the Office of Sustainability to pilot sustainability initiatives with measurable outcomes that contribute to cultivating a sustainability ethos on campus, in service to the world.

In its inaugural year, Service Focus brought together 78 undergraduates committed to bridging service and learning across the first two years of their Princeton University experience.
