CSC Mission StatementIn striving to enhance UCSB practices and to make a truly “sustainable campus,” we use the current budget constraints as an opportunity to look for ways to redefine roles played within our organization and reassess how we manage and assign work. On an annual basis, we will identify a number of areas for improvement, as they not only provide opportunities to reduce our environmental impact, but also opportunities to save the campus capital over time .
