Guidelines for Submitting an Idea

​

The SIF Idea Bank is where Mohawk students submit their ideas for sustainability projects to implement on campus. The best ideas are for projects that enhance the student experience while reducing Mohawk’s environmental impact.

​

Before submitting an idea to the Sustainability Initiatives Fund Idea Bank, you must agree to the following terms:

 

1. Once you submit an idea, it becomes the property of Mohawk College, with credit given to the student.

2. Mohawk’s Office of Campus Sustainability and Climate Change (a.k.a. “Mohawk Sustainability”) will review all submissions before publishing them online.

3. Mohawk Sustainability will choose the best ideas to be presented to the SIF Committee. Short-list selections will be evaluated based on the Ranking Criteria.

4. The top ideas will be presented to the SIF Committee. These ideas will be judged for implementation for the following year.

 

5. Mohawk Sustainability reserves the rights to refuse submission of any idea that does not adhere to the purpose or nature of this contest, and the goals of the Sustainability Initiatives Fund.

6.  The decision of the SIF Committee is final. Mohawk Sustainability reserves the right to refuse any submission. There will be no appeal to the decision and there will be no obligation on the part of the SIF Committee, MSA or Mohawk Sustainability to provide reason for selection or non-selection of entries.
