Subject: Join the SGA Sustainability Committee

Description:
The SGA Sustainability Committee is a student group that aims to be the
sustainability voice for all students on campus. We pass bills and hold
events to educate the campus community, to push the university
administration, and to advocate for meaningful climate and environmental
action on local and state levels. Last year, we encouraged President Pines’
decision to commit to making our on campus power plant fossil fuel free by
2035, influenced the University to pause development on Guilford Woods,
provided testimony to the Prince George’s County CAP, testified on MGA
bills, established a stipend program for people in sustainability internships
and so much more!

This year, some of our current work includes planning to replace current UMD
shuttles with electric buses, running environmental justice events, launching
a Sustainability Conference, organizing clothing swaps on campus, mapping
potential sites for solar panels on campus. Our projects are all
student-proposed and driven! Come join us to get involved in these projects
or to start your own project, all majors are wanted!

We're also a social group! In past years, we've done day hikes and game
nights. We also run a mini-grant program, where members of our committee
analyze grant requests for up to $2,000. Mini-grant participants get
experience critiquing, assessing, and evaluating student, staff, and faculty
proposed sustainability projects.

We meet on Thursdays at 7:00pm in the SGA Office (in the Student Organization
Resource Center (SORC) in the STAMP Student Union - take a right when you
enter SORC and go down the hallway until you see the SGA logo). Please email
