Nominations are now open for the second annual Husky Green Awards meant to recognize individuals or teams of Ä¢¹½ÊÓÆµ students, faculty and staff whove helped advance environmental stewardship and sustainability at the Seattle, Tacoma or Bothell campuses.

Nominations may be submitted on the Ä¢¹½ÊÓÆµ Environmental Stewardship and Sustainability . Nominations close March 28 and awards will be announced on Earth Day, April 22.

Eight awards were presented ranging from a student who helped develop Ä¢¹½ÊÓÆµs composting program to a purchasing manager for Ä¢¹½ÊÓÆµ procurement services who encouraged office supply vendors to offer Ä¢¹½ÊÓÆµ buyers more sustainable products to the green team formed at Ä¢¹½ÊÓÆµ Tower.

The award nomination committee will consider:

Leadership – Exemplary vision and leadership in developing, garnering support for and implementing a campus sustainability project
Initiative – Efforts beyond normal duties to promote campus environmental stewardship or sustainability
Dedication – Sustained effort over time to maximize impact, including efforts to build community support and involvement through awareness and outreach activities.

Award winners will receive a commemorative award from the Environmental Stewardship Advisory Committee.
