CUSG Environmental Board

The Environmental Board, a joint board of the CU Student Government (CUSG), helps CU students make the Boulder campus a greener, more socially just place by overseeing the activities, budget and programs of the nation’s largest student-run environmental center. As the board of the Environmental Center, as CUSG service center, we work directly with students and administrators to catalyze change.

The Environmental Board has recently met with campus administration to advocate for climate action, joined CUSG onto the UN Global Race to Zero initiative and passed a building operations bill to increase energy efficiency in CUSG run buildings. We administer the Sustainable CU fund, which supports student-led, innovative capital projects that promote sustainability on the CU campus. Recently, the board created task forces to tackle issues with legislation, social justice and waste diversion on campus.

The Board works closely with CUSG and Legislative Council. In addition to representatives from each of those bodies, the board consists of:

• Eight student voting members
• Two community (non-student) voting members
• Permanent ex-officio members (Environmental Center permanent staff)
• An unlimited number of nonvoting, elected ex officio members

The CUSG Environmental Center Board (EBoard) supports undocumented students both at CU and beyond. All EBoard meetings are recorded and published for public access. Subcommittee and one-on-one meetings with EBoard members are never recorded. EBoard strives to make our meetings as safe and inclusive as possible for all CU students and community members.
