Union College student wins 2 scholarships
TerraCycle Garnier Include USA
Victoria Nichols, 19, a Union College freshman in Lincoln, received $5,000 in college scholarship money for participating in two national campaigns by DoSomething.org.
A global movement for young people and social change, DoSomething partnered with Garnier and Johnson & Johnson to encourage young people to get involved in recycling and joining the bone marrow donor registry. Nichols beat out over 80,000 applicants to win both scholarships.
Garnier partnered with TerraCycle and joined DoSomething for their “Rinse. Recycle. Repeat” campaign, an initiative to encourage young people to recycle their beauty and personal products that would normally end up in the trash. As part of the campaign, 50 colleges competed to see who could recycle the most empty beauty and personal products to keep them out of landfills.
