The Organic Campus program is structured to cultivate student steering committees that advocate and promote more organic on-campus through established Campus Procurement Policies.
Students in these committees prepare on-campus education and events, ensuring organic education materials are prominently displayed in food service environments, and enrich their sustainability stewardship.
The Campus Administration is a part of the Steering Committee and commits to educating about organic and adopting procurement policies to ensure more organic options are available at their institution.
