University Relations

The UAF Sustainability Research Definition Committee appointed by Chancellor Brian Rogers in fall 2010 have developed a definition which will be used for the purposes of participating in the sustainability tracking assessment and rating system, a transparent, self-reporting framework for colleges and universities to gauge relative progress towards sustainability. This definition will be used as a guide for tracking, reporting and engaging faculty in reporting activities. The committee consisted of Terry Chapin, Craig Gerlach, Michael Koskey, William Schnabel and Richard Wies. The definition and theme areas can be viewed online.
