Sustainability plan to be presented Wednesday
January 26, 2015
Chancellor Brian Rogers will present the new UAF Sustainability Plan from 1 to 2:15
p.m. Wednesday, Jan. 28, in the Wood Center multilevel lounge.
Have a free slice of pizza and learn about the plan, a comprehensive approach to moving
UAF toward sustainability. The document seeks to increase efficiency and reduce consumption
in ways that will protect resources, save money and improve campus life.
In addition to Chancellor Rogers, the event will feature Vice Chancellor for University
and Student Advancement Mike Sfraga and representatives of the Office of Sustainability
and the Review of Infrastructure, Sustainability and Energy Board.
They will present ways that you can get involved in implementing the plan and answer
your questions about the plan and sustainability efforts at UAF.
Anyone ready to dive in will be able to sign up for subcommittees and submit ideas
on sustainability topics. Subcommittees will review dining services, procurement,
renewable energy and a zero waste goal.
The plan was created with input from a steering committee of people from across campus
in 2014. Small-group interviews with students, faculty and staff and a campuswide
survey were used to ensure broad input.
These efforts were put into action by students and made possible by the student sustainability
fee. Join us to congratulate and thank them for their hard work.
