UW-SAN Executive Council Partner Profiles
Meet the organizations that make it all happen! This diverse mix of UW student groups are the lifeblood of the UW SAN. Below, you will find the groups that make up the SAN Council. The leaders of these groups regularly meet to develop strategies for boosting interdisciplinary engagement with sustainability-related activities on campus. We also seek to break down barriers between the silos that divide the sustainability conversation. We strive for representation from the Environmental, Social, Political, and Economic spheres.
Interested in getting involved with sustainability on campus? Check out our SAN Council organizations and network partners to see if any of these groups resonate with you! Are you interested in participating in “green” projects? Try reaching out to EcoReps! Interested in sustainable business? Net Impact may be the group for you! Perhaps you’re more interested in the cultural / artistic side of things. Reach out to the Hip Hop Student Association to see how you can get involved! All of these groups are part of a larger movement towards a sustainable campus.
CSF
The Campus Sustainability Fund’s mission is to foster a sustainable and environmentally conscious campus. They fund student projects (including SAN!) that are geared towards creating a sustainable impact on the university and subsequently empower students to take on leadership positions by providing a funded opportunity. CSF is one example of the intersectionality between three of our sustainability pillars, environment, economy, and society, because of its equitable application of their funds and the opportunity it provides students who may otherwise not have the opportunity to pursue their environmentally conscious projects.
