To honor the Western community's commitment and efforts to achieve sustainability, the Office of Sustainability and Western administration recognizes and celebrates the achievements of various individuals, groups, programs or projects that make important contributions to Western Sustainability.
The Western Sustainability Awards are your chance to highlight endeavors
which are moving us toward national leadership in sustainability.
The concept and practice of sustainability is part of the mission statement and strategic plan of WWU, and is exemplified in academics, student life, operations, and connection to the greater community. Western is recognized for its campus-wide efforts through national rankings such as the Sierra Magazine's Cool School list, the Aspen Institute's Beyond Grey Pinstripes, and the EPA's Green Power Partnership. Our accomplishments are due to the actions of faculty, staff, students, administrators, and community neighbors throughout the campus and into Whatcom County.
