A brief description of the institution’s sustainability projects fund:
This funding comes from the each-semester student activity fee. The Student Government Association's Sustainability Committee evaluates campus SUS funding needs around campus based on input from students, staff, and faculty. Notably, this fund has enabled the acquisition of 9 solar tables for the campus since its inception.
A brief description of the multi-stakeholder decision-making process used to determine which projects receive funding through the sustainability projects fund:
The SGA SUS Committee works with the SGA Student Senate and other sustainability partners around campus (other student organizations, faculty, staff) to assess potential sustainability projects. The Student Senate then proposes, approves, and sends funding recommendations to the Office of Student Life, often coordinating with Facilities on infrastructure projects (e.g., solar tables).
