Campus Sustainability Council
The Campus Sustainability Plan calls for wide-ranging, coordinated efforts to promote sustainability and renewable energy at UW Oshkosh. It also calls for an organizational structure that will ensure substantial progress is made.
The Campus Sustainability Council, which consists of representatives from across campus, oversees and helps coordinate this effort at UW Oshkosh.
Responsibilities
The Sustainability Council is responsible for reporting to both the vice chancellor for Academic Affairs and the vice chancellor for Administrative Services. It also assists and provides direction to the director of Sustainability. Along with these responsibilities, the Council takes leadership in special issues (such as curriculum) and advises campus leaders on sustainability and renewable energy initiatives.
Members
Campus Sustainability Council membership is determined by the vice chancellor for Academic Affairs and the vice chancellor for Administrative Services. Staff, representing both teaching and operational aspects of the University, may share the leadership of the council.
The goal is to provide a balanced, well-informed, and objective leadership for this administration-advising body. The co-chairs are expected to serve two-year terms, which are renewable. Contact us to request more information on how to become a member.
