ºÚÁÏÌìÌÃ

The ºÚÁÏÌìÌà Green Office Program is a semester-based challenge that supports faculty and staff in making everyday office practices more sustainable. Offices earn points from actions they take, from reducing energy use to rethinking office supplies. Participation focuses on measurable progress, with every action contributing to ºÚÁÏÌìÌÃ’s campus-wide sustainability efforts.

Whether your office is just getting started or already doing great work, the Green Office Program is here to recognize your efforts and help you keep building momentum!
