| What is the GRF? Primarily a fund that supports energy efficiency projects here on campus, BUT also has a portion available for projects proposed by Champlain College community members. |
| The GRF aims to fund projects that: – Promote awareness and understanding of sustainability in education, campus culture and behavior – Directly or indirectly reduce Champlain’s environmental impact – Encourage student participation, learning and leadership – Engage members of the Champlain community – Use funding cost-effectively |
| How might you use this? Consider how you (or the College) could contribute to the United Nations Sustainable Development Goals |
| Faculty: create an assignment around the GRF, as they do for the Corporate Social Responsibility classes; bring a class project to the implementation phase, as Robin Collins did with an idling project in her Environmental Earth Science class; or bring a speaker to campus to support your class content |
| SGA clubs & Student leaders: to help fill a budget gap for a project you think important for the Champlain College community or to bring a speaker to campus to motivate your in- or out-of-class learning |
| Employees & students: to bring an idea to reality that you think would make Champlain a more sustainable campus |
| Have an idea for a project? Email us the idea and we’ll give you feedback on how best to proceed. |
| Proposal Form found here: Student/Campus Community Member Proposals for projects are due November 1 and March 1. Learn more at www.champlain.edu/greenfund |
