Faculty and Staff

Sustainability on the UCCS campus has a variety of supports -

• from faculty
• to students
• to staff employees

All of these are interested in helping UCCS to become a more sustainable community.

UCCS employees dedicate time and resources every week to advancing and implementing campus sustainability programs. UCCS has signed the American College and University Presidents’ Climate Commitment, and the Chancellor and her leadership team have committed to additional sustainability-related initiatives as part of the campus strategic plan, curriculum, facilities, and operations. Spearheading many of these efforts is UCCS’s dynamic and highly effective Office of Sustainability, led by:

Kimberly Reeves, Interim Director of Sustainability

Faculty from across campus contribute to the minor in Sustainability through their teaching, service, and research activities. The following list highlights faculty members who actively teach courses listed in the minor, participate in the Sustainability Committee, and/or have worked on the sustainability strategic planning process.
