Sustainable CU

The Environmental Improvement Initiative:

In the spring of 2005, students voted on the Sustainable CU Referendum which dedicates $2.80/student/semester to implement on-campus projects incorporating renewable energy, energy efficiency, recycling and waste reduction, and other innovative projects to reduce the campus¹ impact on climate and environment. When reviewing proposals, particular attention shall be paid to initiatives created and led by students thereby enhancing student opportunities. Sustainable CU funds will be used for: capital investment, the purchase of infrastructure necessary for the initiatives, installation of capital projects, educational displays related to the capital projects, and any other non-staff operating costs associated with the initiatives. The Sustainable CU fund is administered by the UCSU Environmental Center. Approximately $157,000 (depending on enrollment) is available annually through the 2008-09 academic year. Proposals are accepted semesterly in October and February.

Application

Proposal Submission Deadline is November 3, 2008.
