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.

Welcome!
This is our first attempt at creating a blog to keep the campus and the community updated on sustainability at UCSB!
Since it's summer, we don't have much to update you on right now, but we plan on ramping up again just before the fall quarter commences in September.
Check back then for regular updates!
