Meet the Champions
Published July 11, 2025
Launched in 2023, the Sustainability Champions program is dedicated to educating and mobilizing faculty and staff on sustainability issues on campus and within their communities. Employees become part of a campus-wide network of sustainability leaders by participating in a series of Lunch-and-Learn sessions, workshops, and field trips.
These leaders will be equipped to raise awareness, promote sustainable practices, and cultivate a culture of sustainability at the Beach! Learn about the program's impact.
