ALBANY – Albany State University officials announced the participation of ASU students in the 2024 Home Depot Retool Your School Campus Improvement Grant competition. The competition provides an opportunity for participants to win up to $150,000. Voting will continue through March 24 online only at retoolyourschool.com/vote.
Home Depot’s Campus Improvement grant is part of the company’s commitment to invest in the growth of HBCUs. ASU is a three-time grant recipient, which has allowed for the completion of various projects that enhance the campus experience. These projects include the addition of outdoor pavilions on the lower East Campus, creation of the Mental Health and Wellness Walking Trail, and improvements to the Student Amphitheater.
“The Walking Trail brings so many benefits to our campus community,” Miss Albany State University Jordan Elder said in reference to the health and wellness addition to campus. “Along the trail, individuals can take time to themselves to reflect and re-center their minds and emotions. I am proud to be a part of a university where wellness is considered an important part of success.”
ASU supporters are encouraged to cast their vote in support of the institution’s efforts to enhance the places and spaces where excellence happens. Voting is unlimited and can be cast via the RYS website only through March 24.
RYS winners will officially be announced during an awards celebration on April 11.
