Loyola Marymount University
PAE-1: Sustainability Coordination

In March of 2007 President Lawton created the Environmental Stewardship and Sustainability Committee (E2SC), with the charge of identifying how LMU as a university could ideally care for our planet in our actions, while balancing real world complexities such as fiscal constraints and competing values. The committee comprises students, faculty and staff and meets regularly to discuss campus programs, events and initiatives related to sustainability.

Green LMU is administered by LMU Facilities Management. One of its goals is making sure the campus is efficient and innovative with energy usage, water, transportation, waste, and building structures. Green LMU also works with many different departments on campus to collaborate with sustainability events and projects, such as the annual Earth Day Fair, farmers’ markets, or a dorm hall trash audit. Some of the current projects Green LMU supervises are the E2SC committee, Sustainability Week and the LIONS Garden. Green LMU has one full time staff director and four work-study students.

Primary responsibilities include designing, collecting, analyzing and reporting on current sustainability data, environmental stewardship, and green initiatives (i.e. President's Climate Commitment) at LMU. The incumbent is responsible for developing, planning, coordinating and implementing programs, initiatives and resources by working with the Environmental Stewardship and Sustainability (ES2C) committee and Academic Division to promote campus awareness and visibility. The Campus Sustainability Coordinator will establish and maintain the website as a communications tool and resource for information on LMU environmental initiatives and GHG emissions reporting as required under the ACUPCC. Working with the Director of Plant Operations and Energy Manager, and other University departments as appropriate, this position will help increase awareness and promote the implementation of campus-wide sustainable practices. Additional responsibilities include advising University Administration of changes in laws/regulations that may affect policies, require the implementation of new policies, or affect operating budgets; partnering with the Academic community to provide assistance with Environmental Studies, research and programs; collaborating on sustainability issues with the local communities; and liaising with sustainability leaders at other institutions.
