Sustainability Advisory Board
The Sustainability Advisory Board, joining the other established Advisory Boards of UNH organized around the Colleges and key strategic areas of focus, is comprised of a dedicated group of volunteers – alumni, parents, and friends – who all share a passion for UNH and sustainability. The unique cross-cutting aspect of sustainability defies traditional boundaries or silos and requires bringing together a diversity of expertise across sectors and fields. The board provides critical input and guidance on UNH’s sustainability efforts, particularly as it relates to our bold plans for continued leadership in sustainability in higher education.
The Sustainability Advisory Board ensures that the Sustainability Institute and UNH more broadly have the resources to further key sustainability initiatives, achieve goals, and invest in future. As such the board's work supports the Institute and ultimately the university at large, and the broader community.
UNH has several Task Forces and Committees which oversee our broad sustainability efforts at UNH; students, staff and faculty members serve on these groups.
Sustainability is embedded into UNH's four strategic priorities, guiding our community toward a bold, overarching vision.
