In 2011, Five Academic departments collaborated with the Office of Sustainability to pioneer the development of a sustainable office program for WWU during the 10x12 pilot. Five Administrative and service offices stepped up to the work of certification during the 2012 Western Sustainable Office Certification (SOC) pilot. In 2013, Western Sustainability Office Certification is growing! Everyone can do the Top 10 Actions, and every office working group can Join the SOC leaders, and Go for the Gold.
