As part of its ongoing leadership in promoting and practicing activities that contribute to a more sustainable environment, Syracuse University has updated its campus sustainability website.
In 2007, SU Chancellor and President Nancy Cantor signed the American College & University Presidents Climate Commitment, making SU one of the largest private universities committed to climate neutrality and reducing greenhouse gas emissions, and further signifying the University’s long-term dedication to creating a more sustainable community, both on and off campus. To promote the many components of the University’s sustainable practices and innovations that are part of Scholarship in Action — including the many ways individuals can contribute toward reducing the University’s carbon footprint-the “SU Green Universe City” website (http://greenuniversecity.syr.edu) was launched in February 2008.
The University’s Sustainability Division, part of the Office of Energy and Computing Management, has updated the site from its previous online presence to provide a more comprehensive resource, inclusive of all campus sustainability efforts, for the University community and visitors.
Among the new features:
The site is updated continuously with news and event information for the University community. Individuals who have sustainable news or would like a sustainable activity or action posted on the website should send information for review to Melissa Cadwell, marketing manager in the Sustainability Division, at macadwel@syr.edu.
For comments or questions about the website, e-mail sustain@syr.edu.
