Communicate about sustainability:
Sustainability Summit We report sustainability activity within the University of Washington. While some of this reporting is for our own benchmarking, much of our reporting is to third party institutions that rate and rank our university among our peer institutions. The University of Washington has consistently ranked high on these lists.
Our office facilitates sustainability programs and projects that help the University meet our sustainability goals. We provide project management, networking and connections, and outreach/awareness. These programs and projects vary from student-driven to administrative, from short-term to long-term, and from small-scale to large-scale.
