Operations management students support campus sustainability effort

The Association of Operations Management Students participated in a tree-planting activity on Feb. 10 at the MSEUF Forest Research Site, as part of the 79th Foundation Week celebration of Manuel S. Enverga University Foundation to promote environmental awareness and social responsibility.

The activity began at 6:30 a.m. and gathered students, faculty and staff who supported sustainability initiatives across campus.

Two AOMS members joined the outreach effort and planted seedlings alongside other university volunteers, reinforcing the organization’s commitment to environmental stewardship and responsible resource management.

Organizers said the initiative aimed to strengthen awareness of sustainability while encouraging teamwork and volunteerism among participating groups.

Through its involvement, AOMS demonstrated support for the University’s long-term environmental programs and community development efforts.
