FACS

Overview

The Faculty Advisory Committee on Sustainability (FACS) is an initiative of the faculty and Provost’s office that acts to encourage and support sustainability education and research across all constituencies on campus. It emerged during the 2020 Project planning that yielded the Sustainability Research & Engineering building, and the committee was established in 2018 to promote complementary programming. Our focus now is on facilitating efforts in sustainability by members of the campus community and generating additional opportunity through coordination, consultation, funding, and action.
