The Hunter Solar Project, a student-led organization, is receiving an Outstanding Student Commitment Award from the Clinton Global Initiative. This award is accompanied by a $4,000 grant from the Wal-Mart Foundation that will be used toward an educational component of a project the student group has put in motion to locate photovoltaic solar panels on the roof of Hunter's campus.

The HCSC is an outgrowth of PlaNYC 2030, as is Hunter's participation in the "30 in 10" Challenge. PlaNYC 2030 is Mayor Bloomberg's comprehensive vision for New York's growth over the next 18 years. Explore PlaNYC 2030.
