George Washington University Students Petition For Solar Panels. By Michelle Brown, GW Hatchet, March 4, 2010. "Students and organizations across campus are banding together to form a petition to support the installation of solar panels on the roofs of the Marvin Center, Funger and Duques halls. Sophie Waskow, a spokeswoman for the Office of Sustainability, said her office is on board with the project and is helping to come up with a financial analysis of how much the addition of solar panel energy would cost the University. Waskow said she is working with Green GWand Net Impact -- a student group on campus focused on the environmental movement -- to determine the feasibility of the project. Spencer Olson, president of Green GW, said his organization is helping voice student support for solar power implementation to University administrators. 'We are trying to get the GW community to show that they are really supportive of solar [energy] on campus and renewable energy,' Olson said. 'Especially with the GW Solar Institute, it just makes sense for us to have solar [energy] on campus.'"
