Be a Part of the New SIUE Sustainability Advisory Group |
|
| |
|
 |
|
The SIUE Sustainability Advisory Group (SAG) was created Feb. 14, 2008, by the Office of the Vice Chancellor for Administration to assess progress on existing initiatives and to vet ideas for future efforts around the topic of sustainability. Since then, and despite budget setbacks, sustainability efforts at SIUE have not slowed. Instead, every day more energy is put into building a more sustainable campus and community.
After a brief hiatus, SAG is being relaunched with a new name – the Sustainability ACTION Group – and with a new structure. The new structure involves a steering committee that is charged with:
• Drafting operating papers
• Creating a sustainability plan
• Developing a communication strategy
• Overseeing STARS
• Mapping sustainability assets
• Identifying potential sources of funding for projects
The SAG will also be made up of working groups initially focusing on energy and food, with plans for water, curriculum, transportation and waste groups to be added in the future.
The SAG is open to all students, staff and faculty who are interested in or are already working in areas related to sustainability. If you would like to become more involved in the steering committee, or in one or more of the workgroups, please attend one of the kick-off meetings listed below, or email Steering Committee Chair Connie Frey Spurlock at cfrey@siue.edu.
12:30 p.m.
