EN-4: Outreach Materials and Publications

Weber State University's sustainability newsletter is produced by the Sustainability Practices and Research Center and is informed by the Energy & Sustainability Office, the Environmental Issues Committee (part of WSU's Faculty Senate), Sustainable Clubs (Environmental Ambassadors, Food Recovery Network, & Garden Club), and other departments across campus. The newsletter is produced once per month during the Fall and Spring semesters and contains articles regarding upcoming speaker events, tips for living sustainably, and information regarding campus sustainability projects currently under construction or recently completed. The newsletter is posted on the Sustainability website with a link in addition to being emailed out to the listserv (those who signed up to receive the newsletter).
