The Carbon Mitigation Taskforce (CMTF) is conducting five interviews with the leading consulting and engineering firms being considered to help the university transition to renewable energy. Members of the campus community are invited to attend the interviews and submit suggested questions. 

Nearly 2,000 plants with bronze, orange, yellow or (naturally) maroon flowers have been moved from the mum field on Tillson Farm Road to the more than 100 planters in the campus core, with the hope that the color will last through Homecoming 2019 later this month.

Hundreds of UMass students, faculty and staff are set to participate in the 7th annual Mass Impact Day of Service from 8 a.m. to 3 p.m. on Saturday, Oct. 5. Students will volunteer with local organizations or lead community service efforts to make a difference in the Pioneer Valley.

A diverse group of faculty have been named recipients of a 2019-2020 Sustainability Curriculum Fellowship, an interdisciplinary program that includes a $1,000 professional development grant and monthly brainstorming sessions to learn about best practices.
