The Environmental Justice Guide includes readings, podcasts, films about in inequity and injustice of pollution and global climate change in the US and the global south. This guide is a offers a glipse at the activism and people power of communities, in the face of environmenntal racism, corporatism, capitalism, and sexism. Our Zero Waste Guide offers details on how to run low waste events where most material is recycled or composted. The Green Guide is a summary of global sustainability topics with on-campus applications and opportunities.

Sustainability Living-Learning

The "Gardenside" program is a sustainability-focused living and learning community. First proposed by a Sustainability intern in 2021, the program was developed into a partnership between the Office of Sustainability and ResLife. Students interested in sustainability live together in Wiecking Hall (next to the Community Garden) and take a hands-on class, focused on campus and personal sustainability.

Green Grant

The Green Grant is a $10,000 competitive grant managed by the Sustainability Commission in collaboration with the Sustainability Office to support students in pursuing sustainable initiatives on campus to improve student life and the environment.
