The PSC’s Purchasing Work Group is shorthanded. The group has been doing important work on sustainable purchasing policy and related questions and needs an additional member or two. If you have an interest in this effort (and especially if you have knowledge of university or departmental purchasing practices), the group’s chair, Megan Topham, would like to hear from you.
"No institutions in modern society are better able to catalyze the necessary transition to a sustainable world than universities."
David Orr, Chair, Environmental Studies Program, Oberlin College
