Each spring, the Auburn University Office of Sustainability recognizes individuals and groups that exemplify the Auburn spirit by making significant contributions toward sustainability on campus or in a community at any point along the Sustainability Compass: Nature, Economy, Society, and Wellbeing with the Spirit of Sustainability Awards.
Several of AWW’s supporters and volunteer monitors were recognized with Spirit of Sustainability Awards in 2016: Dan Ballard, Michael Freeman, and Brian & Elizabeth Simpson. We are so proud to have these exceptional individuals as part of the AWW Family! Thanks and keep up the good work!
