Eight Projects Run by CLASS Awarded Campus Sustainability Fund in 5th Round
We are proud to announce that eight campus-sustainability projects from four departments of CLASS have been granted funding in the fifth round of the Campus Sustainability Fund (CSF) competition, in the category of either Campus Sustainability Projects or Enhanced Sustainability Collaboration Projects.

The CSF supports projects that contribute to the University by increasing the sustainability of its teaching, research, governance and campus operations. Projects are expected to change the attitudes and behaviour of the campus community to improve campus sustainability in the long term. CLASS and its departments are committed to supporting and contributing to the University’s goal and vision for cultivating a sustainable campus and environment.

Please join us in congratulating the successful departments, teachers and students and wishing them all the best for the implementation of their projects!
