Sustainability Council

The MIIS Sustainability Council meets regularly and consists of representatives from staff and faculty, as well as students from each degree program. The goal of the Council is to carry out MIIS’s sustainability initiatives, such as the Climate Action Plan and the Carbon Neutrality Initiative. 

The current Sustainability Graduate Assistants run the Council. If you are interested in getting involved or representing your degree program, please reach out to us at sustainablecampus@middlebury.edu!
