EN-4: Outreach Materials and Publications

Since Fall 2010, one Green LMU Newsletter has been produced by the Office of Sustainability each semester. It is used to inform students, staff and faculty about the various projects being done on-campus as well as a platform to talk about different issues that the university should examine and potentially implement. Some articles written have been about the on-campus garden, Fall Sustainability Week, LEED buildings, and students’ experiences with sustainability. This newsletter is now released bi weekly to inform faculty, staff, and students of programs and accomplishments.

Three of our buildings (two residence halls and the library) have LEED plaques mounted on the building walls, highlighting the fact that they are green buildings. Our Green LMU web site also highlights green features of these three buildings.
