[Ucrfacultyandstaff] Special Advisor to the Provost on Sustainability

[UCR Provost]

Dear Colleagues,

I am pleased to announce that Sandy Kirtland Turner will serve as Special
Advisor to the Provost on Sustainability, starting July 1. Sandy is
Professor in the Department of Earth and Planetary Sciences and director of the
Environmental Dynamics and GeoEcology (EDGE) Institute at UCR. She is
a paleoceanographer,
paleoclimatologist, and Earth system modeler, whose research focuses on the
coupled dynamics of the carbon cycle and climate past, present, and future.
Sandy has served on the Campus Sustainability Committee for the past five
years, and she has been leading a team of faculty to develop a cross-campus
minor in Sustainability. Sandy has tremendous experience in and commitment
to sustainability education and research, and I look forward to working
with her in this capacity.

I also want to thank Juliann Allison for her four years of service as Faculty
Chair of the Campus Sustainability Committee and inaugural Special Advisor
to the Provost on Sustainability.

Faculty members interested in joining the Campus Sustainability Committee
should reach out directly to Professor Kirtland Turner.

Sincerely,

Liz
