Committee on the Campus Environment website.

Committee on the Campus Environment was organized as a standing committee at the University of Tennessee, Knoxville (UTK) in August 1999. Its mission is to advise the Administration on institutional policies and behaviors that promote environmental stewardship at UTK. As a Research I university, UTK has both the qualifications and the responsibility to demonstrate leadership as a "living laboratory" for environmental stewardship.

To fulfill its mission, the Committee will provide advice on ways to:

improve the physical environment of UTK;
incorporate environmentally sustainable principles into design, construction, operation, and maintenance decisions and practices at UTK; and
increase the day-to-day environmental awareness and knowledge of students, faculty, and staff at UTK.
