Institution: We set goals on how to make the college more sustainable, including purchasing decisions.
Operations: We promote, implement, and maintain practices for buildings & grounds, energy, transportation, waste, water, and food & dining.
Academics: We support faculty in incorporating sustainability within existing curriculum through presentations, class projects, and course content.
Culture: We support and coordinate related groups, communicate with the campus community, and host events and activities. We also help support Service and Volunteering opportunities to get involved with the community.
