The annual Campus Sustainability Awards will take place during the summit, as well. The award program, which started in 1997, recognizes outstanding individuals and departments who demonstrate a sincere commitment to reducing the burden that CU Boulder places on the environment. 

The awardees exemplify CU's continuing efforts to become a sustainable institution, setting the example for environmental stewardship and responsibility. Some have made groundbreaking efforts that will change the overall way CU operates, and others make an impact on the community and campus environment with their everyday actions.

Reserve your space for the Campus Sustainability Summit by Monday, April 17. In an effort to reduce food waste, lunch will only be ordered for advance registrants. 

The summit is free and open to CU Boulder students, faculty and staff. Events will take place at the University Memorial Center's Glen Miller Ballroom.
