President's Task Force on Sustainability

Mission 

The purpose of the President's Task Force on Sustainability is to provide leadership and coordination for WPI's campus-wide efforts in energy and resource conservation and reduction in the harmful environmental impacts of our operations, all directed toward enhancing the long-term sustainability of WPI's activities and the environment of which we are a part.  We are an educational institution; thus, these goals are interwoven with our academic goals in teaching about the practices of sustainable design and the impacts of behavioral changes, as well as in conducting research in the reduction of environmental impacts and in methods of enhancing sustainability.

The task force is drawn from, and works with, all segments of the WPI community:  students, faculty, and staff.  Further, since WPI is an active member of the local, regional, and world communities, the work of this task force will have impacts beyond the WPI campus.

The task force will produce an Annual Sustainability Report of its operations and accomplishments. A shorter summary of the Task Force's Year In Review is also made available.

Membership

Task Force members are appointed by the President.
