The Office of Sustainability is committed to establishing the U as a leader in working towards a more sustainable future. Our vision is to create a culture of sustainability shared by campus and the surrounding communities. We are building upon the values of our University’s mission to facilitate active and responsible citizenship in the realms of human health, environmental stewardship, economic progress, and social responsibility.
The Office of Sustainability is helping to unite the many groups on campus to work towards the common goal of campus sustainability. The Office is not directing all of the activities, but is serving as a central store house for information and linking people together.
