Campus Conservation Nationals (CCN)

Campus Conservation Nationals (CCN) is a month long conservation challenge that encourages residential students to decrease their energy and water use through a month of programming and marketing. This conservation campaign is in line with our institutional Climate Action Plan. With this programming, CCN serves as an engagement tool promoting conservation behavior while enhancing the experience of our students. In addition to conservation, CCN provides a way to educate students while working to reduce our utility use and carbon emissions. The month-long competition uses an initial test week as base data for a comparison across the competition period. As part of this competition, the Office partners with UCCS Residence Life, Green Action Fund, and the Residence Hall Association.
