Student Affairs Green Office Certification

In an effort to become the leanest, greenest office of Student Affairs, departments are racing to complete USC’s Green Office Certification Program this spring. Offices who enroll in the program earn Green Office Certificates — Bronze, Silver, Gold or Platinum — based on a point system that rewards environmentally-friendly actions.
