My goal is to move UC San Diego towards being more sustainable by increasing interest in climate change mitigation,
natural resource conservation, and helping the campus be socially just. To achieve
these goals, the campus has been working
on increasing education and transparency
through national reporting, new events,
unique campaigns, green pledges, establishing new partnerships and promoting
new policies. Ultimately, I’d like for the
campus to be a leader in innovative sustainable practices so that others can look
to us as an example for realizing savings
and efficiencies while helping make the
planet more sustainable. I am passionate
about sustainability and higher education
so I feel fortunate to work on both issues
every day.
