The Office of Sustainability plays a central role in advancing and tracking environmental stewardship at Butler.

We empower all students, faculty, and staff and our broader community to participate in Butler’s commitment to environmental stewardship and making a meaningful difference in the face of climate change. Our mission is to advance Butler University’s academic mission and strategic vision by identifying and implementing data-informed sustainability initiatives that are fiscally responsible, promote behavior change, create innovative educational experiences, and enhance our campus’ pursuit of environmental and social well-being. Through this mission we aim to exemplify The Butler Way and inspire our community, institution, and the next generation of leaders to become change makers for environmental, social, and economic well-being.

Move-out is upon us! As you go through your belongings, keep what you need, donate what you can, recycle what’s accepted, and trash anything that can’t be disposed of any other way.

By practicing proper disposal during move-out, you can reduce waste sent to landfill, give items a second life, and give back to our Indy community.
