SSMU Environment Commissioners

Our Mandate

The Environment Commissioners are charged with facilitating dialogue between the community and SSMU on environmental matters. This includes taking-up the concerns of walk-in students, staff, and faculty. It also includes coalition-building between student environmentalist groups, and helping promote their work to the campus community. It further calls for the proactive creation of new spaces and opportunities for environmental activism to flourish within and without SSMU.
