About Us
About the Office of Sustainability
At the Office of Sustainability, our goal is to educate and help students, faculty and staff embrace sustainability in their daily lives while integrating sustainable practices into the university's planning and policies, academics, operations, student activities and community engagement.
We work collaboratively with a variety of campus departments and divisions to steer sustainability-specific initiatives. Previously housed under Strategic Initiatives for Administrative Affairs, we are now part of Facilities Planning & Management where we are also supporting university efforts to implement the University's Strategic Plan which states "as global citizens, our individual and collective actions reflect our commitment to one another, society, and the environment."
What We Do
- Ensure support of sustainable initiatives that align with the Strategic Plan
- Measure GHG (greenhouse gas) and track progress toward reaching climate neutrality
- Coordinate among other departments to assist in implementing the Climate Action Plan
- Identify educational opportunities and work with students to initiate sustainable programs
- Report CPP's progress toward our sustainability commitments
- Provide internship opportunities
- Work closely with faculty partners to integrate sustainability into class projects
