Office of Sustainability

Looking for a hands-on experience? You can literally dig in to sustainability on campus in our Campus Garden, roll up your sleeves and join the Compost Crew, or jump in as a volunteer for special sustainability initiatives and events. The Office of Sustainability and Energy Education (OSEE) also offers internships for those students interested in exploring in-depth projects connecting broad sustainability goals with direct campus action.

Curious but not ready to commit? OSEE offers a range of drop-in programs and events throughout the year. To keep up with events, join the mailing list!

For student-led action, check out the Student Environmental Action League, or SEAL. SEAL's mission is "to support environmental sustainability and conservation on campus and within the local community, increase student awareness of environmental issues as well as the ways to take action in our community and beyond through activism." Connect with them to find your place in student sustainability efforts. 

Are you a faculty member interested in building sustainability into your curricula? Visit the Faculty Resources page for project ideas. If you need a little funding to jump start a new class or research direction, consider applying for a Sustainability Integration Grant.

Representative governance on sustainability is provided by the University Sustainability Committee (USC), a body comprised of students, faculty and staff appointed to report to the University President on campus sustainability strategies and priorities. Visit the USC page for charge and membership. Have an issue you'd like to see the USC take-up? Reach out to your constituent member, or directly to the co-chairs.
