The Office of Sustainability

As a public higher education institution, the University at Albany has both an obligation and an opportunity to be a leader in sustainability. Our institution can and should serve as a model for other colleges and universities as well as for our own students and the community around us.

  • Sustainability Coordinators

    This program is for faculty and staff that want to make a difference in our sustainable operations and practices. Participants received specialized training and meet monthly during the academic year to discuss new and on-going initiatives.
