Membership on the Sustainability Program's advisory board is solicited by open application from faculty, librarians, staff, and administrators, in order to represent a broad cross-section of the Bridgewater State University campus community.
The board was convened at monthly meetings to advise the coordinators on long-term sustainability goals for BSU and identify the means to achieve them. The board is also involved in developing, reviewing and recommending measures related to the integration of sustainable policies, practices, scholarship, and curricula across the University.
