Green Certification Programs
Looking to step up your sustainability game at Brandeis?
Look no further than the Office of Sustainability's green certification programs, a new initiative that instructs students, faculty and staff in how to support sustainability efforts on campus. After the program, you'll receive a certificate to display proudly in your residence hall or office, or on your club materials.
We currently offer three programs: Green Club, for student club members; Green Office, for faculty and staff; and Green Room, for students living in residence halls. Read more below or register now.
Green Club (for student club members)
