On November 15, 2007, the UMHB ACS Student Affiliate Chapter held its second annual “Bike Day”. Students were encouraged to leave their automobiles at home and ride their bicycles to their classes. As an additional aspect of the event, an iPod nano™ was raffled off as a fundraiser item. Funds from this raffle were used to further the club's future environmental ventures. The event was considered a success and has been returned as an annual campus event.
