Does the institution have a sustainability committee?:
The charter or mission statement of the committee or a brief description of the committee's purview and activities :
The Sustainability Coordinators program is designed to give university employees the ability to work in unison with the Office of Environmental Sustainability on the “Green Scene” initiatives. Coordinators meet monthly to discuss how to communicate university wide sustainability programs and give feedback to the director. All coordinators complete a training on the current campus initiatives. Our goal is to have at least one person from every area of the university represented.
