Governance

The UNH Sustainability Academy (UNHSA) is guided by a cross-campus Collaborative Council. UNHSA staff, along with graduate and undergraduate fellows, provide support for the Collaborative Council, while UNHSA faculty fellows provide leadership in the key programmatic areas of biodiversity, climate, food and culture through participation on related task forces and on the Collaborative Council.

Collaborative Council

The UNHSA Collaborative Council:

Ensures the integrity of Academy’s mission.
Synergizes with other strategic initiatives at UNH.
Defines strategic priorities and recommendations for the Academy.
Integrates assessments data collected for STARS and done by the task forces in the four key programmatic areas of biodiversity, climate, food and culture across the CORE.
Identifies revenue potentials.
Provides recommendations and feedback to the UNH President, Provost and Cabinet.
