Sustainability Committee
At Loyola Marymount University, we are committed to advancing sustainability through education, research, and campus operations. To help drive this work forward, Green LMU has partnered with members across the university to form the Sustainability Committee, a group dedicated to supporting student-led initiatives that strengthen sustainability on campus through infrastructure improvements, educational programs, and community engagement.
The committee allocates funding — made possible through support from The Coca-Cola Company — for student projects that enhance LMU’s sustainability culture. To ensure funding is used effectively, the committee reviews and supports proposals that show strong potential to advance our mission.
