University’s Environmental Stewardship Policy calls for leadership in environmental protection and sustainability among top tier higher education institutions and communities.
In partnership with a wide range of University stakeholders, our team focuses on advocating for environmental wellbeing, eliminating or minimizing University’s environmental impact; this includes but not limited to research operations, facilities operations and maintenance, as well as community engagement.
