Operations During the COVID-19 Pandemic
Although the Sustainability Resource Center is closed, we are working remotely and finding new, innovative ways to connect with students, staff, faculty and community members through social media and virtual meetings and events. We will work with our partners in Environment, Health & Safety, University Center and Associated Students to develop practical COVID-19 mitigation strategies and protocols that comply with state, county and university safety guidelines if our office reopens in the fall.
