Students and student groups from all three campuses also collaborate to better promote sustainability at the University of Illinois system. On the state level, UIC collaborates with all the universities and colleges across Illinois. Regionally the Chicago area Campus sustainability coordinators group meets quarterly to share best practices and coordinate projects.
