Read More about Sustainability at UC Irvine<\/summary>\nIn partnership with UCI Health, the main campus conducted several forms of outreach and engagement for ongoing climate resiliency planning. Workshops, tabling, social media content and survey distribution all played a significant role in beginning the conversation of climate resilience and learning about the lived experiences and insights of the campus community regarding climate change impacts. UCI will continue these efforts in the following year, with greater incorporation and discussion of decarbonization efforts.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
UCI continued its legacy as a Tree Campus USA<\/a> for the 13th consecutive year and was listed on Princeton Review’s Green College Honor Roll<\/a> for the 11th straight year. Among other highlights, UCI Dining was awarded silver for outreach and education by the National Association of College & University Food Services<\/a>, and UCI Transportation and Distribution Services earned the Race to Excellence gold award from Best Workplaces for Commuters<\/a>. An interdisciplinary team of UCI graduate students received the top prize in the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency\u2019s Environmental Justice Video Challenge for Students<\/a>. The group produced a video about a proposed project to enlist Santa Ana residents in bioremediation efforts to remove lead from soil contamination hot spots throughout the city.<\/p>\n<\/details>\n\n\n\n\n![\"UC](\"https:\/\/sustainabilityreport.ucop.edu\/2020\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2020\/11\/ucirvine_logo.png\")
