Want to be a part of the University of Delaware Sustainability Task Force?

To better promote sustainability at UD, the Task Force is moving to a new structure forming an Executive Council and a series of Working Groups. At this time we are seeking volunteers/nominations for persons willing to serve on the Executive Council or to serve as a facilitator for one of the five Working Groups.

• For the Executive Council, we need a representative from: 1) faculty, 2) undergraduate students, 3) graduate students, 4) staff or administrative personnel, and 5) facilities. We ask the student representatives to serve a 1-year term and others to serve 1-2 year terms, so that we can stagger turn-over of the council membership.

• In addition to Executive Council members, we need strong leaders willing to serve as facilitators or co-facilitators for the following Working Groups: 1) UD Sustainability Fund, 2) Green Liaisons, 3) Marketing and Communication, 4) Campus Sustainability Day, 5) Earth Week, and 6) RecycleMania. We would ask the facilitators to serve at least a 1-year term.

• Please e-mail either Kathleen (kkerr@udel.edu) or John Madsen (jmadsen@udel.edu) with your name (or the name of someone that you’d like to nominate); what role you are interested in; and why; by May 17th! If you have any questions, feel free to contact either one of us
