As the Office of Sustainability looks back on the 2020-2021 school year, we remain grateful to students, faculty and staff who have demonstrated or initiated successful sustainable practices on campus.

“It’s one thing to lead in the before times — to lead in a pandemic is another brand of heroism,” said Vice President of Human Resources and Sustainability Dedee DeLongpré Johnston. As we conclude an incredibly challenging year, it is more important than ever to celebrate the leadership of colleagues and students and the impact they have on campus, in the community and around the world.

Honorees were recognized at Wake Forest’s eighth annual Campus Sustainability Awards. We extend our thanks and congratulations to all of our Champions of Change for their commitment to making Wake Forest an even more sustainable place for all to live, work, study and play.
