Sustainable Campus Initiative
In the interest of furthering sustainability education at the University, the Sustainable Campus Initiative was established by a group of staff, faculty, and students to take advantage of the unique academic opportunities provided by various campus operations. Since its origin in 2000, the Initiative has hosted and facilitated discussions to instigate these partnerships, resulting in such programs as the Sarita Wetland Restoration Project, an undertaking that aids stormwater management at the University and also provides an opportunity for research and hands-on education. The Initiative has also undertaken important research on the University’s overall environmental impact, all in hopes that the campus will become increasingly ecologically conscious both in its educational and operational efforts.
