Campus Wide Participants

Working Together

The HGCI works with hundreds of students, staff and faculty across Harvard University. To allow for the many schools and departments to advise our work we have established numerous working groups, advisory groups and steering groups. What follows is a list of HGCI core staff, and all related groups of participants.The Director of the Harvard Green Campus Initiative sits on all groups to ensure effective cross-committee communication and information sharing.

The specific constraints, needs and opportunities of each School or Department must be thoroughly represented in the development of all new campus environmental initiatives. Establishing numerous localized advisory groups has been instrumental in advising and steering the HGCI to a series of productive and mutually beneficial outcomes. It is worth noting that participation is constantly changing and expanding as new programs are established and as the interests of faculty, staff and students evolve.  Please see a description of each of the current HGCI decision-making groups below:
