Project Teams

What are Project Teams?

CEC members get hands-on experience in project and program management through Project Teams (and have a lot of fun doing it). These are student-led initiatives aimed at operating a novel project, program or, service that advances environmental stewardship on the UT-Austin campus. The Campus Environmental Center supports Project Teams and their respective missions by providing administrative and financial support, facilities, and other resources. CEC members are encouraged to support projects through volunteering, specific skills, or leadership.

Project Team proposals are considered on a case-by-case basis and are accepted at the discretion of CEC leadership. Have an idea? Drop us a line.

Environmental Justice Collective

The UT Environmental Justice Committee seeks to educate the university community about environmental justice and related topics through workshops, speakers, and other events.

Green Events

The Green Events Project Team provides free consulting services to student organizations with the goal of reducing waste and educating our community about sustainability and environmental awareness.

Little Blue Prairie

Little Blue Prairie is an educational model of a Blackland Prairie next to the Student Services Building. We seek to educate students about the loss of prairies and the ecoystem services they provide.

Microfarm

The CEC Microfarm is the University of Texas at Austin’s first student-run, on-campus farm. We strive to practice only organic and sustainable farming techniques in our managed farm and community garden.

Trash to Treasure

Since 2005, Trash to Treasure has diverted thousands of pounds of reusable items from going to the landfill through a series of donation drives and sales held throughout the year.

Past Projects

Several of the CEC’s projects were so successful that they became permanent parts of sustainability at UT.
