We are thrilled to share the student-led Sustainability Task Force (STF) will be hosting their first meeting on September 30th, 2020 at 7:30 pm.

STF aims to work with a diverse group of TC students and advocate for sustainability on campus. Last year, Darren Rabinowitz and Amber Kim gave a presentation about the formation of STF. They described STF's mission: 

"Working with other students, we imagine STF will advocate for sustainability on campus but also serve as a growing source of interdisciplinary sustainability knowledge.  We focused on defining the reciprocal relationships between STF, the new Student Senate Sustainability Committee (SSSC), and the forthcoming Center for Sustainable Futures (CSF). We discussed how these three entities could work effectively and collaboratively together in order to cultivate a culture of sustainability practice and ethos at TC through a whole school approach."
