Happy Campus Sustainability Month!
Hello Sustainable Tigers! Did you know October is Campus Sustainability Month? This is an international celebration of sustainability in higher education in which colleges and universities organize events on campus and elsewhere to engage and inspire students and other campus stakeholders to become sustainability change agents.
To celebrate, the Office of Sustainability is hosting a Campus Sustainability Week. From Oct 6 – 10 we will highlight sustainable resources on campus and promote sustainable living. Events are FREE and listed below. We hope to see you there!
That’s not all. We are working on a new Sustainability & Climate Action Plan, and we need your input. Information can be found in our Special Edition newsletter.
