Sustainability

The Office for Sustainability (OFS) at The University of Texas Rio Grande Valley serves to advance sustainability across academic programs, campus operations, and campus community.

OFS operates guided by the three pillars of sustainability:

  • environmental stewardship
  • social responsibility
  • economic resilience

Our top priorities include advancing energy efficiency across campus and strengthening coordination of recycling efforts to improve consistency and impact. For opportunities to get involved, campus initiatives, and student programs explore the Office for Sustainability main page.
