Join the Sustainability Community on Microsoft Teams
The Office of Sustainability has merged various Microsoft Teams that it manages into one main Sustainability Community. There, you will find specific channels for the community (or communities) that currently exist. You can join the Sustainability Community on Microsoft Teams here or by searching for “Sustainability Community” on your Microsoft Teams app. Please note: If you are from the School of Medicine, send a request to join this team to sustainability@umaryland.edu.
Current Channels/Communities
Come to a SustainabiliTea Session
On the first Tuesday of each month from 9 - 10 a.m., the Office of Sustainability hosts an office hour called SustainabiliTea for students, staff, or faculty to stop in and say hello, ask questions, and share ideas. These sessions alternate between virtual and in-person at our office in the Lexington Building. For in-person sessions in the Lexington Building, we have a tea and instant coffee bar for you to enjoy (but please bring your own mug!)
Join the Microsoft Team to learn more about an upcoming SustainabiliTea session.
