Representing your sustainability values
The SAs meet four times a year at the SA Forum, which aims to unite sustainability champions from across the University to make our campuses more sustainable places to work and study. Convened by the Sustainability Team, the Forum allows SAs to discuss and seek solutions for sustainability issues within their University area. This forum is a chance to share ideas and initiatives, learn about current sustainability activities across the University, and raise any concerns or potential solutions with the Sustainability Team and other SAs in person.
