UW-Eau Claire
About US
Our Student Office of Sustainability (S.O.S.) is one of nine commissions within our Student Senate. Our general assembly of students meets on a weekly basis to discuss the allocation of “The Green Fund” – a budget of roughly 184,000 dollars in student segregated fees. These funds are allocated to foster sustainability in our campus community through innovation, education, and foundational improvements. Campus community members are invited to submit proposals for consideration by the body requesting funding for initiatives that benefit our students through sustainability.

Our dedication to sustainability is part of our University’s select mission statement, it’s part of our history as Eco U, it’s part of every student’s general education classroom experience, and it’s part of how we look at what we want to accomplish now and in the future as part of our continuing campus strategy.

UW-La Crosse
About
Sustainability is a spectrum, not a destination. We are not here to define the word. We are here to live up to it.
The idea of sustainability is fluid, changing over time and meaning different things to different people. We, the University of Wisconsin La Crosse community, define sustainability as being both a local and global interaction between economy, environment, and society. Through education and programming, we will provide students, faculty, staff, and the community with the knowledge and skills to be environmentally responsible citizens who consider the effects of their actions and the actions of others around them.
