In AY19-20, UC Sustainability and the BeWell program developed a collaboration to include UC sustainability events and presentations under the BeWell umbrella, with the goal of supporting UC staff in building an awareness of UC's sustainability efforts and not only undertaking more sustainable behaviors on a personal level, but understanding how their particular departments and staff roles could support broader UC sustainability efforts.
Due to COVID, and the transition between sustainability coordinators, UC Sustainability was not able to contribute to the BeWell program/events during 2021 or 2022 as originally planned.
