A brief description of the institution’s sustainability projects fund:
Sustainable Advancements Funding Endeavor (S.A.F.E.) projects can be proposed by students, faculty, and staff, with priority given to student proposals and to projects having no other funding sources from Southwestern University. The S.A.F.E. will support projects that:
1) Promote various dimensions of ecological sustainability, energy efficiency, and environmental knowledge/awareness;
2) Promote social sustainability including environmental and social justice, diversity, and/or the public health and well-being of the campus community;
3) Promote economic sustainability, fiscal responsibility, and/or the long-term financial health of Southwestern University.
A brief description of the multi-stakeholder decision-making process used to determine which projects receive funding through the sustainability projects fund:
The Sustainability Committee (made up of students, faculty, and staff) reviews each project based on its own merits in a competitive process. The Sustainability Committee will determine which requests are to be funded and the dollar amount of each grant.
Approved projects then are reviewed by the Senior Leadership Team for final consideration and implementation.
