Sustainability Champions Announced

The Academic Senate Work Group on Sustainability selected its recipients for the Sustainability Champion award:

2009-10: Prof. David Cleveland, Environmental Studies (sustainable food systems)
2010-11: Prof. Eric Matthys, Mechanical Engineering (energy efficiency)

The purpose of the Sustainability Champion award is to highlight and support the work of a faculty member whose scholarship demonstrates a commitment to the environment and sustainability.

The incumbent will work at the campus, community, state, national, or global level to apply their expertise towards addressing sustainability; develop and provide a freshman seminar on their area of expertise and potential applications; and provide a public lecture at the end of their tenure to discuss their work and activities as Champion.

The 2009-10 award is being funded by The Green Initiative Fund (TGIF) and the Office of the Executive Vice Chancellor.
