About us
We are a group of faculty, staff, students, and alumni that have made tremendous accomplishments in sustainability both on and off campus. This website is dedicated to promoting the extraordinary work that the TCU community has done as well as being a repository for all things “sustainability” at TCU and in the wider community.
Our group includes faculty from at least eleven departments across campus, staff from administrative offices and groundskeeping, plus students from Student Government (SGA), the Environmental Club, and the Chancellor's Leadership program, and many other individuals who are passionate about sustainability.
