The Office of Sustainability

The Office of Sustainability is dedicated to helping WWU achieve its strategic goal of sustainability in a number of ways.

  • Prioritizing sustainability goals and working to achieve these goals by tailoring sustainability initiatives to meet campus needs.
  • Further integrating sustainability into WWU’s culture, academics and student life by encouraging faculty, staff, and students to understand the environmental, social, economic and human health consequences of their actions.
  • Advancing knowledge of sustainability by facilitating faculty staff and students to research potentially any aspect of campus sustainability.
  • Acting as a liaison on sustainability initiatives between campuses regionally and nationally, building connections between WWU and the greater Bellingham community, and publicizing the efforts of WWU.
