Funding for sustainable ideas at UAF
February 20, 2018
The UAF Office of Sustainability and the RISE Board are accepting proposals for funding
this semester. Any UAF student or employee who has an idea that would overall make
UAF more sustainable may apply. Past proposals have included solar panels on the Student
Recreation Center, LED lighting upgrades on campus and a recycled art show. Many students
and other UAF affiliates have made UAF a more efficient, greener place of education
through the RISE funding process, and the experience is a positive addition to any
resume.
We are currently accepting proposals to cmkemper@alaska.edu until Feb. 28, 2018. While priority is given to projects that focus on energy efficiency
and renewable energy, projects may also address a variety of issues, including transportation,
waste management, sustainable design, education and curriculum, food systems, social
sustainability, and green processes. If you have any ideas or follow-up questions
about the proposal process, please call the Office of Sustainability at 474-5070 or
email Christi Kemper at cmkemper@alaska.edu. The Office of Sustainability is willing to help applicants with any research, connections
or information they might need to formulate sustainable ideas for UAF. Proposal guidelines
and a template can be found at www.uaf.edu/sustainability/.
