Public Forum to discuss Campus Sustainability Fund on January 12th -The Campus Sustainability Fund (CSF) is a major, student-led investment in a greener, more sustainable campus.  It will provide funding for projects that increase campus sustainability, prioritize student leadership and involvement, and educate UW students, faculty, and staff in order to create a more environmentally responsible campus culture. The creation of the CSF will allow students to set the University's environmental agenda and create educational opportunities in the process. This is an incredible opportunity for students to get engaged and create a lasting, positive change on campus. Join us on January 12th at 4:00 in Hub 200AB to ask questions, raise concerns, offer suggestions, or volunteer to help.
