Committees and Special Task Forces -  Environmental Awareness Group



Charge:

The Environmental Awareness Group (EAG) works to increase the University community's knowledge and understanding of environmental issues and objectives.  The EAG monitors the campus environment and recommends to the Sustainability Working Group, the Provost, and the University faculty steps that the University should take to protect and improve the natural environment.  In addition, the EAG promotes environmental sustainability on campus by:

  • supporting, with cooperation from the Sustainability Working Group, the education component of the Climate Action Plan by fulfilling the American College and University Presidents' Climate Commitment charge of incorporating climate neutrality and sustainability into the curriculum and other education experiences for all students; and
  • monitoring progress toward meeting the environmental goals in the 2011 Campus Master Plan.

One member of the EAG will serve as a rotating faculty representative on the Sustainability Working Group.



Membership:

The EAG membership consists of six faculty - two from Arts & Sciences and one each from Business, Law, Leadership Studies, and Professional and Continuing Studies - in addition to the Sustainability Coordinator (ex officio), the Associate Provost (ex officio), and two student representatives.  Faculty members will be elected by the University faculty from a slate of nominees provided by the Committee on Committees and will be appointed to three-year rotating terms with reappointment possible.  Student members will be chosen in consultation with the Richmond College and Westhampton College deans.  The chair of the committee will be a faculty member.  The Associate Vice President of Facilities or designee, Director of University Services or designee, and Manager of Environmental Services will serve as resources for the EAG as needed.  The EAG will welcome other members of the University to participate in its activities and deliberations in a non-voting capacity.
