The Elmira College Student Alumni Council (SAC) is continuing its efforts to bring water bottle filling stations to campus, helping ensure that everyone has access to fresh, cool water while reducing single-use plastic bottle waste!​ Thanks to SAC’s fundraising efforts, water bottle filling stations have already been installed in Meier Hall, Columbia Hall, and Anderson Hall, and we’re excited to continue expanding access across campus.

Last year, SAC compiled a cookbook featuring recipes generously contributed by Elmira College students, alumni, and employees. This year, we’re selling the cookbook for just $10.00, with all proceeds supporting SAC’s ongoing fundraising efforts and our goal of bringing additional water bottle filling stations to campus.​ Please consider purchasing a cookbook to support our students, promote sustainability, and make a positive impact on the Elmira College community!

Purchase your cookbook here:
