We've been working on a big announcement and it's finally time to share!

Sustainability at UW Oshkosh will be re-organizing! This means that the Sustainability Institute for Regional Transformations and the Campus Sustainability Office will be housed under the umbrella of UW Oshkosh Sustainability.

This re-organization will hopefully unite sustainability efforts at UWO and make collaboration easier. Finding sustainability information and resources should become easier for you as everything will be housed in one place!

To follow along with our re-organization, follow our UW Oshkosh Sustainability accounts of Facebook and Instagram (). And keep your eyes peeled for an announcement about our newly designed website there!

Thank you for your interest in sustainability at UWO we hope this change makes pursuing sustainability clearer and easier!
