A brief description of the institution’s sustainability projects fund:

The Campus Sustainability Fund reviews and approves large and small scale projects to promote sustainability across many areas of campus. The projects are led by students and campus community members, providing the opportunity to envision and create an initiative to benefit the whole campus community and beyond.


A brief description of the multi-stakeholder decision-making process used to determine which projects receive funding through the sustainability projects fund:

Applications are submitted to the Campus Sustainability Fund Committee to be reviewed. Projects are selected based on the project plan, scope, projected outcomes, and feasibility. The standardized rubric is attached in "additional documentation" below. The rubric score combined with the committee discussion is what ultimately determines whether a project receives funding.

The CSF committee includes Outreach and Connections specialists, Communications and Web Content specialists and Diversity, Equity and Inclusions specialists.
