Meet Our Alumni

Since 2019, the Office of Sustainability has annually employed an average of 15-25 student employees, in addition to our seven full-time staff members. In any given year, we have the bittersweet honor of seeing 5-10+ of our dedicated students graduate from the University of Arizona and move on to their careers after college. This page serves to recognize these exemplary employees that have supported the past, present, and future success of the Office in advancing sustainability and climate action across campus and within the Tucson community.

This page was first published in June 2021 and does not reflect the 10 years of alumni that came before this. If you worked for the Office of Sustainability, Compost Cats, Greening the Game, Green Team, and/or the University of Arizona Community and would like to be recognized and/or included in our alumni newsletter, please email sustainability@arizona.edu and let us know - we’d love to recognize you!
