How did the UNH Sustainability Academy at UNH come about?
Established in 1997 with a generous gift from an anonymous alumn, the UNH Sustainability Academy (formerly the Office of Sustainability Programs and the University Office of Sustainability) is the longest-standing endowed university sustainability program in the United States – and was the only endowed program until 2006. Sustainability at UNH began with the grassroots leadership of faculty, students, and staff, which lead to the establishment of our endowed program.
