How are other universities approaching sustainability?

Brown University

  • Brown University is home to one central sustainability club, emPower, which encompasses eight smaller student groups
  •  Groups include a bike share program, reusable water bottle initiative, and a student climate coalition, among others
  • emPower has a set weekly meeting time and organizes an annual conference for all things sustainable on campus

Northwestern University

  • Similar to UMSFP, the Illinois-based campus has an organization that promotes the importance of sustainably grown food
  • The program is known as Wild Roots, and it consists of three undergraduate environmental student organizations (SEED, ECO, and ESW), facilities management, the graduate student garden, and Norris University Center
  • WR is currently run by undergraduate students in  collaboration with their facilities management
  •  They hold conversations on sustainability, grow local and sustainable food, and seek to educate the student body on where their food comes from and how it impacts the world
