Annual Sustainability Champion Awards

The annual Sustainability Champion Awards program honors Cal Poly Humboldt employees whose practices have deepened a culture of sustainability, have furthered the integration of sustainability into institutional practices and operations, or have reduced the environmental footprint.

Each spring a selection committee reviews nominations and selects one faculty, one staff, and one student employee who has excelled in advancing sustainability on campus and in the community. Award winners embody a spirit of innovation, collaboration, and leadership to create solutions to pressing challenges facing the campus and society.

Each Sustainability Champion receives a hand-crafted trophy and a feature profile in campus publications. The Awards Ceremony is held in April During Earth Week, a series of events in celebration of Earth Day.

Those with sustainability in their job title or with sustainability as an obligatory aspect of their job (e.g., Office of Sustainability staff, Sustainability Librarian and the Faculty Sustainability Fellow) are not eligible for the award.
