Committee
This group of individuals gave up a significant amount of their personal time to outline the criteria by which these awards would be determined, the nomination process, and the associated awards ceremony. By agreeing to serve on the committee, these environmentally dedicated individuals forfeited their right to vote on any awards for which they might be nominated. The University and the Office of Environmental Policy recognizes their importance of their participation, without which the 2016 Awards could not have been successful, and thanks them for their dedication to this process.
