Sustainability Steering Committee

The Sustainability Steering Committee was formed in order to develop a plan to implement the Sustainability Task Force’s recommendations, which include:

  • Make policy recommendations
  • Identify areas that need additional planning and research
  • Identify minimal-cost items for short-term implementation
  • Identify priority projects to propose to the Capital Projects Committee
  • Recommend methods to cultivate a culture of campus sustainability

The Sustainability Steering Committee is currently on pause for the AY26/27 while the Sustainability Action & Justice for the Environment (SAJE) planning process is underway. To engage with SAJE, please visit the Sustainability page.
