The Office of University Sustainability has a strong focus on outreach and education, seeking to create a culture of sustainability on campus. Programs, projects and initiatives of the office are designed to help students, faculty, and staff become better aware of sustainability issues and take steps to reduce their impact on the environment in their everyday activities. Contributions will go to supporting and expanding these programs.
