The newly-appointed Climate Commitment Committee (as part of the American College and University Presidents Climate Commitment) has begun its work. Greg Swanson, Director of Facilities Planning and Management, is chairing the committee. Other committee members are:
- Frank Bartlett, Residence Life
- Eric Compas, Geography & Geology
- Carla Corroto, Sociology, Anthropology, Criminal Justice
- David Dorgan, Facilities Planning & Management
- Paul House, Chemistry
- Paula Mohan, Political Science
- Ron Ulvog, University Center
- Jeffrey Zimmerman, Geography & Geology
- Harrison Draayers, Student Representative
- Sarah Herlache, Student Representative
- Andrew Smits, Student Representative
The committee has been asked to develop a comprehensive plan to achieve climate neutrality. They will begin this work by completing a comprehensive inventory of greenhouse gas emissions. They will then work to develop an institutional action plan for becoming climate neutral. As they do their work, they will make the action plan, the inventory, and periodic progress reports publicly available.
Thanks to all the committee members for their willingness to work on this important effort.
