Sustainability Coordinator
Lindsey Cromwell
As the Sustainability Coordinator, I develop, plan, coordinate, and implement programs, initiatives, and resources related to sustainability at SCU. I also serve as a “clearing-house” for sustainability data, knowledge, & “know-how” on campus and at peer institutions. I am responsible for engaging students, staff, faculty, and alumni to promote and develop environmental stewardship, education, and outreach programs on campus and in the community. One of my primary goals is for every SCU student to graduate with a culture of sustainability.
I supervise our amazing student interns - one of my favorite parts of this job! Our interns are responsible for most of the ongoing projects at the Office of Sustainability. Richard is responsible for the University's sustainability assessments and greenhouse gas emissions inventory. Hannah develops creative initiatives to inform and engage students. Jenny works with faculty and staff to improve the sustainability of our offices and campus policies. Tracey is the University’s Recycling Intern (and Photoshop guru). Emily, our newest intern, is conducting the first greenhouse gas emissions inventory for Catholic Relief Services' U.S. programs. I am constantly amazed by these students' creativity and the quality of their work.
I earned my Bachelor of Science degree in biology and am currently working on a Master of Business Administration, both at Santa Clara University. I currently serve on the Leadership Board of the SCU chapter of Net Impact, a global network of leaders who are changing the world through business.
After finishing my undergraduate studies in 2004, I was an Education Specialist at a marine mammal facility where I educated participants about marine animals and conservation. I also played with dolphins! I joined the University staff in February 2006 as the Sustainability Coordinator. I enjoy my work and hope to continue using my business knowledge and experience in the field of sustainability to continue to “green” educational institutions and businesses.
