Green Initiatives

Sustainability can be defined as meeting the present needs without compromising the ability of future generations to meet their needs.

According to  www.sustainablecampus.org , sustainability means reducing our footprint on the future and involves improving economic efficiency, protecting and restoring ecological systems and enhancing the well being of people. In terms of events, it means taking into consideration the impact that your event will have on the environment. Whether it's using only recycled materials or sending excess food to a local food bank.

The Event Management Office is dedicated to promoting sustainability in all our events, in cooperation with our mission green initiative. Please read our  Sustainable Event Planning Guide  for more information on how to make your event as environmentally friendly as possible and for information about the sustainability efforts of our catering department, visit  Compass 360 .
