TO THE EDITOR:
By choosing Dartmouth’s Carol Folt as the new chancellor, UNC has not only chosen its next great leader but has made a decision to choose an environmental scientist and the first woman to fill the position.
At UNC, we strive to have a sustainable University in every way — from our energy usage and recycling habits to special projects that promote clean and renewable energy.
Carol Folt is a person who understands the need for our University to continue to retain its sustainable image and make greater leaps to have every part of the system be a reflection of that.
Having a leader with an environmental science background will better help our University to push the limits of what we can, and should, do regarding sustainability.
As a representative of the Sierra Student Coalition, I am proud to welcome a chancellor who will be dedicated to empowering our school and applying her environmental science knowledge to help us continue to promote sustainable actions within our University and community.
