Task Forces
UNHSI collaborates with departments and offices across campus to convene task forces in four key systems of sustainability: biodiversity, climate, food and culture. Through the lens of the system on which it's focused, each task force takes stock of how UNH is doing across curriculum, operations, research and engagement; builds relationships across campus; provides resources to the campus community; and makes recommendations to the UNH administration.
