Tiffany Richardson, Ph.D., Sport Management lecturer in the School of Kinesiology, and Madeleine Orr, Ph.D. student in Kinesiology (sport management emphasis) have been awarded a $3,000 Institute on the Environment (IonE) Mini Grant. The grant will be used for their research project, “Carless Tailgating: A Safe and Sustainable Alternative to a Sporting Tradition.” Carless tailgating is a highlight of the football season at the University of Colorado-Boulder, and has been shown to result in a more environmentally responsible and safer celebratory environment. Richardson and Orr are collaborating on the grant with Shane Stennes, Director of Sustainability at the U of M, and Dave Newport, Director of the Environmental Center at the University of Colorado-Boulder.
