What is a Sustainability Champion?
Sustainability Champions keep their campus departments connected to a broader sustainability community through information sharing, training opportunities, and networking with fellow Champions. Each Sustainability Champion should expect to spend 1-2 hours per semester promoting sustainability.

- Share information from the Sustainability Program and affiliated CSUN sources including flyers, announcements, and social media posts

Who can be a Sustainability Champion?
Sustainability Champions should be employees or student employees of CSUN or its Auxiliaries. One Champion per campus department is ideal, however, larger departments can designate more than one if desired. Academic Colleges may specify a college-wide Champion in addition to those at the department level.
Sustainability Champions do not need to have related professional responsibilities (i.e., sustainability-related work in a position description), but should have a strong personal interest in sustainability issues.

• Priority notification for sustainability-related funding, projects, and programs
• Share department projects and accomplishments
• Awards and recognition for university service
