UNCG Sustainability
Social Equity. Environment. Economics. Aesthetics.
The mission of UNCG’s Office of Sustainability is to encourage and support the development and implementation of sustainable practices in administrative units of the university and create a meaningful link between academics and operations that supports use of the campus as a teaching laboratory.
At UNCG, we define sustainability as the enduring interconnectedness of social equity, the environment, economy, and aesthetics. We believe this interconnectedness provides a foundation from which to discover, implement, and enrich sustainable principles and practices that promote and instill justice, civility, and grace in our communities.
