Get Involved
Everyone in the University of Wisconsin-Platteville community is encouraged to help UW-Platteville reach its goals of sustainability and awareness of our impacts on the planet.
Green Fund
The UW-Platteville Green Fund competition distributes $15,000 to UW-Platteville students, faculty, and staff to support projects that enhance the sustainability of campus.
Projects will be evaluated on how well they meet the UW-Platteville sustainability mission to "meet the needs of the present while enhancing the ability of future generations to meet their own needs."
