As part of the University of Illinois system, UIC collaborates with its other two sister campuses: Urbana-Champaign and Springfield on a regular basis to promote sustainability. In particular, Urbana's Office of Sustainability and UIC's Office of Sustainability collaborate frequently to share each other's sustainability experiences. Students and student groups from all three campuses also collaborate to better promote sustainability at the University of Illinois system. On the state level, UIC collaborates with all the universities and colleges across Illinois. Regionally the Chicago area Campus sustainability coordinators group meets quarterly to share best practices and coordinate projects. The Big 10 Environmental Stewardship group meets twice a year to share best practices at large public research universities in the midwest. The Associate Chancellor for Sustainability sits on the Green Universities and Colleges Subcommittee of the Illinois Green Government Coordinating Council and is a AASHE STARS Technical Liaison. On a national level, UIC is a member of AASHE and ACUPCC.
