Our other biggest win was the meeting of the stakeholders, which led to progress being made on our demands. The results of this included meeting with the Campus Safety Committee to see what changes can be approved, as well as experimenting with the stadium’s light fixtures, all of which can be independently turned on and off, to see what works for the observatory, stadium, and campus safety. We are hopeful that this will lead to the reduction of light pollution from the field, setting a new precedent on campus and leading to further change in the future.
