Campus Champion

Every day is Earth Day for Campus Energy Manager Matt Brubaker. Matt is involved in environmental project planning, technical work and renewable energy projects, earning SUNY Cortland accolades in energy efficiency and sustainability. He’s a steering committee member of the state’s Higher Education Large Scale Renewable Energy Consortium and recently secured a grant from Second Nature, a non-profit that helps colleges and universities mitigate climate change. Beginning in July, he’ll spend two months working intensively with a facilitator to evaluate and produce an update to Cortland’s climate action plan that tackles our thermal demand needs with the goal of eliminating fossil fuels.
