USP is supported by:

The Julie Ann Wrigley Global Institute of Sustainability is the hub of Arizona State University’s sustainability initiatives. The ASU Wrigley Institute advances research, education and business practices for an urbanizing world. Its School of Sustainability, the first of its kind in the U.S., offers transdisciplinary degree programs focused on finding practical solutions to social, economic and environmental challenges.

The Institute is led by the Directorate and has a Board and Advisory Committee that includes the university President.

Many other departments like Sun Devil Dining, Parking and Transit, and many others also support sustainability at ASU.
