The 23rd annual awards program recognizes outstanding individuals and departments who demonstrate a sincere commitment to continuing the CU Boulder tradition of leadership and student participation in campus sustainability. Awardees exhibit innovation that directly reduces the University's ecological footprint, enhances social cohesion and equity in the campus community, and/or integrates sustainability into the culture of Boulder and our local communities.
The awards will be announced by David Kang, Vice Chancellor for Infrastructure and Sustainability at the April 20th CU Earth Day Town Hall and presented in-person at the 2021 awards ceremony.
This year, there are five campus sustainability awardees and two special recognition certificate recipients.
