Undergraduate Environmental UnionPartner in 2022, 2023
The UEU's mission is to serve as the hub of all undergraduate environmental activity, communications, and programming at Duke. We partner with environmental clubs, community members, neighboring institutions, Duke faculty members, administrators, university staff, and the larger student body to facilitate conversations and collaboration around sustainability on campus and beyond. The UEU seeks to support environmental undergraduate groups with their own projects and missions, foster collaboration among student organizations, facilitate partnerships with academic and administrative offices to accomplish major projects, serve as a communal place for groups to share support and information to existing groups and projects, host programs or initiatives that are too big for any one student group, and create a unified student voice to advance and publicize environmental issues on Duke’s campus. |

Duke is home to one of the most innovative, dynamic, and cutting edge collegiate dining programs in the country. Duke Dining provides a variety of ways tempt and please your palate with access to over 45 dining locations that include 36 on-campus locations, Merchants-on-Points (MOPs-off-campus restaurants that deliver), and food trucks. A community-driven, sustainable, award-winning program, Duke Dining provides opportunities for culinary education and engagement with access to cooking classes, chef demos, nutrition and wellness events and special themed dinners throughout the academic year. Duke Dining has worked purposefully to fully understand all the issues that make up a sustainable dining program. In addition to setting a standard for purchasing locally, we also prioritize the purchase of products that are organic, humanely raised, fairly grown, and responsibly fished. Our goal is to provide a fresh-thinking, world-class experience, no matter where you choose to dine on Duke's campus. |
Duke Admin Collaboration
In Spring 2022, environmental organizations on Duke's campus united with Duke Dining to create two Sustainable Task Forces: Waste & Compost Education and Sustainable Dining. The Office of Sustainability, Duke Facilities, University Environmental Services worked closely with us in the development of our research plans and audit logistics.
