UA Green Fund

 An Update on the Green Fund

Supported by the Office of Sustainability and in light of the recently approved Sustainability Fee, the process for how students directly impact and engage with the University’s sustainability efforts is being redesigned at the direction of a new transitional student working group which was convened in August 2021. The Office also hired a new, full-time Fund Coordinator in October 2021 who will provide much-need capacity and coordination to the reimagining of these efforts, which includes building on the previous successes of the Green Fund.

At the direction of the student working group, the Office will convene a new, student-majority Committee, with student employment opportunities, that will allocate Sustainability Fee funding and enable students at the University of Arizona to have significantly greater influence on how their campus lessens its environmental impact. We will also launch the next call for proposals that fund the development and implementation of campus-based sustainability projects this fall.

Please direct all questions, including those about active or past Green Fund projects to the Office of Sustainability at sustainability@arizona.edu.
