The University of Utah Sustainability Office promotes the integration of sustainability principles, ideas and actions into university operations, education, and research. The Sustainability Office seeks an Engagement and Events Coordinator to increase campus engagement by connecting students, faculty, and staff with programs and events that promote a culture of environmental, social, and economic sustainability. The Sustainability Engagement and Events Coordinator will plan and implement activities that reflect U Sustainability’s commitment to social equity and justice, wellness, and environmental integrity, as well as recruit and manage student team members and volunteers. The Engagement and Event Coordinator will also coordinate logistics for Sustainability Office events, including room reservations, catering, staffing, etc.

We seek qualified applicants who bring perspectives and experiences that will enrich and strengthen our organization. We are interested in identifying and interviewing candidates who have experience with underserved and/or marginalized communities who are committed to advancing social equity and environmental justice in the sustainability movement.
