Sustainability Committee

Sustainability is a path of continual improvement where our actions protect and enhance the human and natural resources needed for future generations to enjoy a quality of life equal to or greater than our own. As we continue down our path to becoming a sustainable campus, it is imperative that we have increased participation from the campus community to guarantee success.

The Sustainability Committee is charged with improving our sustainability performance in both education and operations. The committee will facilitate regular communication with the maverick community about sustainability programs on campus. It will also review and analyze best practices and opportunities, recommend improvements, and help implementation of new programs.

The mission of the Sustainability Committee is to cultivate a culture of environmental responsibility and stewardship. The committee will focus on advancing sustainability in several areas such as energy efficiency, waste management, transportation, education, outreach, community engagement, community garden, composting, student engagement, Office Green Team, and interdisciplinary and sustainability-focused curriculum. The committee will meet twice every semester.

Chair – Robbie Werner, UC Operations

Co-Chair – Abeer Almughrabi, Department of Civil Engineering
