  Five-year Goals:

• URI will become a green campus. The Coordinating Committee recognizes the need to learn about, understand, and acknowledge good sustainable practice at URI. The Committee also sees the importance of recognizing and modifying actions and practices that are contrary to good, sustainable practice. Cost savings from sustainable practices should be acknowledged and remain on campus, not automatically revert to the State.
  
• URI will graduate students who are literate and capable in addressing sustainability. All curricula, wherever possible, will reflect the goal of teaching about sustainability. Deans and Chairs will recognize sustainability as a legitimate area of teaching, research, outreach, and career advancement.
  
• URI will develop more tools that decision-makers can use in addressing sustainability. URI has areas where it is recognized as a leader in sustainable research, especially related to coastal issues. This work will be acknowledged, publicized, and fostered.
