I’m extremely gratified to see the launch of the Roosevelt Sustainability Initiative’s new Green Campus website, which was unveiled on August 1st. Not only does it do an admirable job detailing the university’s recent awards and accomplishments on making its operations and curriculum more sustainable, but also it features a terrific section on learning about sustainability that will be great use as a teaching and public education tool.

The lion’s share of credit for this website goes to SUST undergrad MaryBeth Radeck, who is an Environmental Sustainability Associate at RU working under the leadership of our university’s sustainability guru, Paul Matthews, in Planning and Operations. MaryBeth is a talented writer, marketer, and researcher who has over two decades of professional experience. She’s currently working on her BPS in Sustainability Studies, is an occasional contributor to the SUST at RU Blog, and on a part-time work-study basis coordinates the Schaumburg Campus’ sustainability initiatives.

Great job, MaryBeth! And special kudos to RU web designer Vickie Bertini, who worked closely with MaryBeth on the website’s format and development.
