A brief description of the institution’s green event certification program:
The USD Green Event Certification Program was developed by the Office of Sustainability in 2019, and the first pilot event was in December 2019. The success of that pilot has led to a full roll-out in 2020 (though interrupted by campus closure due to COVID). The Program is intended to guide and inspire events hosted by USD departments to be more sustainable both in practice and focus. By participating in this program, departments can help USD lower its ecological footprint and set a positive example for the USD community. The process guides users through sustainable actions in regards to marketing, food, serving, waste, energy, transportation, decor, giveaways, and social justice.
