In Fall 2006, Pomona College President David Oxtoby established the Presidential Advisory Committee on Sustainability. This committee will review and monitor the operations of campus that directly affect the College's use of resources and then develop strategies for increasing campus sustainability. With this information, the committee develops an annual assessment of the College's sustainability and present it at the end of each year to the president and the Board of Trustees' Building and Grounds Committee. These annual reports will also be available to the full College community. Over time, these reports will help the College develop a system of goals, benchmarks, and indicators of success for sustainability on campus.

PACS meetings are open to students. Contact Sustainability Coordinator Bowen Patterson or Environmental Affairs Commissioner Sammy Konofsky if you are interested in attending.
