Congratulations to The Rhode Island School of Design (RISD), winner of the 2024 Innovative Achievement in Auxiliary Services Award for their outstanding FLIPS program! Managed by Auxiliary Services, RISD FLIPS is a creative sustainability initiative that collects gently used items during student move-out and redistributes them through on-campus programs, donations, or an annual yard sale. This program not only benefits local nonprofits like elementary schools, animal shelters, and arts organizations but also directly supports students by contributing all yard sale proceeds to the Staff Council Student Award. These funds help seniors purchase materials for their final year projects. Thank you, RISD Auxiliary Services Team, for setting an inspiring example of innovation, community impact, and sustainability in auxiliary services! #NACAS #NACASAwards #HigherEd #Innovation
