Opportunities for Faculty & Staff

The Tree Committee is a group of staff, faculty, and students who are invested in protecting the tree canopy on campus. The committee seeks to maintain and preserve the natural beauty that our campus is known for, while supporting the incorporation of the Great Commitments and the college's commitment to sustainability in its care. 

Help your office operate more sustainably through this initiative from the Office of Sustainability.
