A brief description of the multi-stakeholder decision-making process used to determine which projects receive funding through the sustainability projects fund:
Students, faculty, and staff can submit their project plans online. Proposals are reviewed and decided upon by a committee gathered by the Center for Sustainability which includes staff, faculty, and student representatives.
Project funding is determined by this committee, and depends on project type and scope. Approved projects will be implemented by University Operations, with project submitters being involved throughout the process. Project outcomes are measured and savings re-invested in future campus sustainability investments.
