Proposals sought for student environmental sustainability projects

Undergraduate and graduate students are invited to submit proposals for projects that support sustainability at Northern Arizona University or in the region.

The Hooper Student Fund Committee and the Center for Sustainable Environments will select as many as five sustainability projects to receive up to $2,500 each to be put into action.

On-campus projects should relate to the NAU Campus Sustainability Plan, particularly focusing on climate change, transportation, recycling and waste or environmental management systems.

Off-campus project proposals should focus on environmental health in tribal and rural communities, sustainable food systems and management, and community-based sustainability projects.

The deadline to submit a project proposal is March 1. Award notification will be made by March 15. For information and applications, visit the Center for Sustainable Environments web site or contact Gary.Deason@nau.edu, 523-7635, or Shelley.Silbert@nau.edu, 523-7635.
