Student Colicorp projects, including raised garden beds, helped Río Hondo win Clean Community recognition
Summary
Students working through the Colicorp program installed raised beds, planted vegetables and native species, and carried out campus cleanups — efforts credited with meeting eligibility criteria for the Clean California designation.
The Spectrum Noticias report said student efforts through the Colicorp program were central to Río Hondo Community College's recognition. "A través del programa Colicorp, los estudiantes realizaron diferentes tareas para que su campus se convirtiera en todo un ejemplo de limpieza y cuidado," the reporter said.
A participant described tangible changes on campus: "El campus ha cambiado bastante porque empezamos aquí en el jardín, donde instalamos unas campos de cultivo elevadas, donde empezamos a plantar como lechuga, cilantro, así varias diferentes, también plantas nativas." The planting and cleanup activities were presented as part of the package of actions that satisfied program requirements.
The segment framed the student projects as both educational and practical contributions to campus upkeep, helping the college meet Clean California criteria and serve as an example for other campuses.
