Departments in the Faculty of Science at Memorial University signed what we call a Sustainable Science Commitment (SSC) – a student-led initiative based on the framework developed by Beyond Benign to unite the green chemistry higher education community around a common vision to: expand the community of green scientists, grow departmental resources, improve connections to job opportunities, and implementing systemic and lasting change in science education.
The Faculty of Science is committing to progressively implement the objectives outlined by the SSC throughout all departments. This includes the departments of Biochemistry, Biology, Computer Science, Earth Sciences, Mathematics and Statistics, Ocean Sciences, Physics and Physical Oceanography, and Psychology, the Faculty of Science Supply Chain Management and the Dean of Science office.
