In April 2000, Illinois State University President Victor Boschini appointed the Environmental Task Force (ETF) to assess the extent of the campus' environmental impact and to make recommendations to the President and the Executive Committee of the Academic Senate for minimizing that impact. Based on the recommendations of the Environmental Task Force the Green Team (GT) was officially created in 2001. The current campus administration, led by President Al Bowman, has continued to support the mission and efforts of the Green Team.
All four vice presidential areas of campus are represented on the Green Team along with faculty, staff and students. The GT puts together an annual report to highlight ISU’s accomplishments in energy efficiency, waste reduction, and environmental education and outreach as well as its goals for the next year.
Meetings are held on the first Monday of every month from 2:00 -3:00pm in Felmley Hall room 309. We encourage all interested members of the ISU community to attend the monthly meeting and/or participate in a subcommittee.
