About Temple
To help create a culture and expectation of environmentally responsible action at all levels of Temple University, former President Ann Weaver Hart appointed a Sustainability Task Force (STF) in 2007. The Task Force was comprised of students, faculty and staff. One of the recommendations of the Sustainability Task Force was to create an Office of Sustainability, which would be a new administrative unit to lead the university's efforts to foster a pervasive culture of sustainability throughout Temple. This new office was opened in July 2008 after the university signed the ACUPCC. The Office operates on a three pronged mission statement that seeks to promote sustainability by advancing academic initiatives and research; creating sustainable campuses; and improving outreach and engagement.
Many eco-conscious student organizations exist at Temple, and over 10 of them are active in the Green Council, which is an eco-friendly coalition of student organizations at Temple that encourages collaboration among these groups to support and encourage the growth of the sustainability movement on campus
The Sustainability Ambassadors are coordinated by Temple's Office of Sustainability in an effort to educate members from all departments, offices, and organizations about sustainable practices on campus and in Philadelphia.
