Sustainability Task Forces
As a result of the Office of Sustainability’s 2008-2009 visioning process, implementation of programs that fulfill this vision became the focus for the Office of Sustainability. To aid in the development of an implementation plan, three task forces were created that represented a diverse group of stakeholders. Members of the task forces included faculty, students, staff and community members with expertise in a variety of disciplines.
Forum Task Force
The Forum Task Force was charged to create a new forum for in-depth, cross-disciplinary engagement on the sustainability grand challenges. The product of their work is a recurring offering of the Scholarship of Sustainability Series. This Series began in the Spring of 2010 and is offered each spring. The Series is open to faculty, staff, students and the community at large. The Series provides an in-depth examination of sustainability issues, with readings and video available on-line.
Operations Task Force
The Operations Task force was charged to create and implement a sustainable campus operations plan. The committee’s efforts resulted in a comprehensive climate action plan that provides a path toward carbon neutrality by 2050. The University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign was the first Big Ten University to submit a climate action plan to the ACUPCC.
Education Task Force
The Education Task Force was charged to infiltrate sustainable thinking into campus missions through new education activities. The Sustainability Education Task Force (SETF) created sustainability education outcomes to serve as a useful resource for enhancing campus course and program offerings related to sustainability. The SETF has also inventoried existing course and program offerings to publish as a guide and identified gaps that can be filled through partnerships with academic departments.
