Welcome to the Ross Green Team
Mission
Our Ross School of Business staff Green Team, in partnership with students, faculty, and community members, has been working since 1993 to improve the environmental impact created by school activity.
For many years the focus was organizing a large Green Clean Day for coordinated office supply reuse and recycling.
During the 2015-16 academic year, the Green Team chose a theme of local food production and hosted several Lunch & Learn events, an agriculture documentary plus panel discussion, as well as a farmer/artisan exhibition in the Colloquium.
