Are you helping to lead sustainability efforts on your campus?

Join the UMACS Community of Practice which meets monthly on the fourth Tuesday of each month from 11:00 am-12:00 pm CST. These facilitated meetings are an opportunity to share best practices, resources and struggles with your peers in the region. Participants propose and vote on topics, UMACS staff coordinate all the logistics, invite guest speakers and facilitate the meetings.
