University of Arkansas Sustainability Council

The University of Arkansas Sustainability Council, comprising faculty, staff, students and representatives from the Fayetteville community, seeks to support the University of Arkansas environmental stewardship mission. They do this through coordination of ideas, information and resources among the university’s student body, academic departments and administrative units to develop and execute projects, using seven categories - or pillars - to guide their work


The Seven Pillars Working Groups are:

  1. Academics & Research 
  2. Energy
  3. Water Resources 
  4. Food, Agriculture & Forestry 
  5. Land Use & Development 
  6. Pollution Prevention & Waste Minimization 
  7. Social & Community 

To read more about the Seven Pillars Working Groups, the projects each group will consider and to find out the chairperson for each group, we invite you to download this brochure.

If you wish to volunteer for a working group or to submit a project idea, then please contact Nick Brown, the executive assistant for sustainability.
