The Green Fund is a student-led initiative to help support Gonzaga’s commitment to “care for the planet” (Gonzaga Mission Statement); it supports a more environmentally conscious community and makes active the willingness to supplement the Climate Action Plan’s efforts to reduce the campus’s climate footprint and to cultivate life-long ecologically-friendly habits by GU students. It supports sustainability initiatives created and carried out by students. Even though multiple student surveys have shown overwhelming support for such a fee, it is nevertheless offered as an “opt-out,” meaning that students can choose not to pay this fee by submitting a written request to the Student Accounts Office each semester by the Add/Drop deadline date.
