The Duke University Greening Initiative is a primarily graduate student organization. While the organization is project-based, it focuses on projects that will further the institutionalization of sustainability at Duke.
Recent work:
- DUGI led the push to codify the University's commitment to green building.
- DUGI students requested that the University create a loan fund to support student, staff and faculty initiated projects that would result in a greener Duke. Duke's Executive Vice President responded by creating the Green Grant Fund.
- DUGI leaders helped launch Duke's Environmental Management System and have been integral in crafting Duke's Environmental Policy Statement.
- Every year, DUGI brings expert speakers to campus through its Distinguished Lecture Series. Past speakers have included William McDonough, Amory Lovins, Nitin Desai, and Steven Strong.
