Two environmental health and safety programs at UC Irvine have received awards from the Campus Safety, Health & Environmental Management Association. UC Irvine was the only university to win two of the prestigious awards.
UC Irvine has placed third in Sierra magazine’s seventh annual ranking of the country’s “Coolest Schools,” making this the fourth consecutive year the university has been included among the top 10 “greenest” campuses nationwide. The publication’s September/October cover story spotlights what colleges are doing to address climate issues and operate sustainably, from UC Irvine’s highly efficient cogeneration power plant and more than 4,800 solar panels to American University’s new campuswide composting program.
