The university became part of the University Climate Change Coalition, or UC3, in December 2018, joining 21 leading North American Research One universities. Together, the institutions are working to expand their commitment to reducing greenhouse gas emissions and working with community partners to encourage climate-related resilience. Marketing Specialist Danielle Hargett was selected as a UC3 Fellow for the UC3 Collaborative Sustainability Leadership Program. The cohort includes students, faculty, and staff, as well as local community members and works with the university and greater Tucson communities on local environmental, sustainability, and climate action issues.
