Our Board of Trustees, our leadership team across campus, faculty, staff, and especially students are actively involved in sustainability projects and remain critical to the continuing success of our efforts in this area.

2010 Students + Sustainability (PDF)
The 2010 Guide summarizes ways in which student members of the university
community can integrate their support for sustainability on a
day-to-day basis. It provides some of the historic context for the
development of our university’s commitment to sustainability as well as
guidance on what one can do at home, in class, when traveling, when
eating, and when purchasing items in the marketplace.

groups active on campus. The guide also describes the role of
sustainability in strategic planning and ends with a check sheet you can
use to identify sustainability features on campus.
