In pursuit of this mission CEC engages in projects, programs, campaigns, and group activities that strive to achieve the following:
-
Collaborate with UT entities and off-campus partners to foster change in policy and practice toward a more environmentally sustainable campus
-
Educate the student body and UT community about environmental sustainability issues
-
Develop knowledgeable and skilled leaders through direct participation in CEC events, classes, and programs
