Every year around April Campus Beautification Day (CBD) focuses on building community with staff, faculty, students, and neighbors, while making campus beautiful. CBD is a university tradition which incorporates campus beautification and sustainability goals through greening the campus. All you need for the event is close toed shoes and a reusable water bottle; an event t-shirt, and gardening equipment will be provided to you. The CBD always closes out the event with a BBQ in the amphitheater where participants will be entered to win a raffle prize!

CBD also encourages participants to bring your personal and office e-waste to be recycled. The Office of Facilities Management American University Zero Waste will be collecting e-waste next to the registration desks. E-waste will be recycled, and data will be wiped according to Department of Defense standards. Please note that AU owned surplus e-waste will not be collected at this drive but must be collected by the Office of Information Technology, by filling out an online form.
