History

In 2007 a group of students created the Social and Environmental Sustainability Committee to foster discussion between different organizations that address the multi-faceted ideas behind sustainability.  A year later, the students drafted the first proposal for the Sustainability Resource Center and submitted it to the administration.  Later that year, the University Centers Advisory Board allocated space for the SRC and the administration agreed to fund the construction of the space.  To compliment the SRC, students pitched the idea of a referendum to fund sustainability projects on campus, including The Green Initiative Fund, and the Student Sustainability Collective, which passed in January of 2009.  Finally, in November of 2009, the SRC opened its doors to the university community with the first group of SSC directors in place.  Come visit us today!
