There are many ways to define an office. Namely, an office is a group of people that share a common work environment. This can be categorized by a whole department, a subsection of a department, a floor, a room of people, etc. In your office, we ask that you include all full time, part time, and student staff. Feel free to email with questions on whether or not your office applies.
*As a recent development, we have also expanded to student organizations- feel free to reach out if your student org. is interested in getting involved!
The leader is in charge of communicating with the sustainability office, holding the office accountable in completing the checklist items, and completing the checklist once the steps to be more sustainable have been implemented. To find more, go to our “Resources” page and see “Checklist for GROW Leaders.”

This will vary from office to office – a timeline can be discussed and set with the sustainability office GROW coordinator.
Contact the Office of Sustainability if this problem arises. We will find a way around the issue on a case-by-case basis.
Yes! Email our office and/or resubmit the GROW Interest Form if you believe your office can do better.
