The institution seeks to reduce the impact of its operations by responsibly managing it facilities and resources. Sustainability efforts underway across campus actively involve students, faculty, staff, and community partners.Sustainability Task Force
A campus task force has been working for several years to advance sustainability efforts across the campus. While members of the Task Force are appointed to represent different areas of the campus, participation in its projects is open to all interested individuals.
The work of the Task Force is focused on five primary areas:
- Building Design
- Environmental Education
- Recycling Awareness
- Strategic Energy Management
- Transportation
Task Force members and others from the campus community work on projects and other efforts associated with these five areas.
