We look for ways to reduce energy use and report waste in campus facilities. Renewable energy, conservation strategies, policy submissions are all topics that are discussed and reported on. Sustainable office practices will be a new focus for this group.
Curriculum
Chair: Elet Callahan escallah@syr.edu

issues across disciplines. Increasing the number of sustainability-related courses,
applying various aspects of sustainability to coursework, and increasing the number
of internship opportunities for students are all ways to achieve campus sustainability.

Chair: Tina Julian cmjulian@syr.edu
This committee is committed to working on increasing the amount of waste SU recycles.

priority in the campus community.
