Sustain Mizzou was established in 2003, operating on a shoestring budget ever since. But in the upcoming fall semester, it will become a campus program with paid staff and $90,000 in University of Missouri funding. The biggest thing is we ll have funding, said University of Missouri senior Zoe Westhoff, president of Sustain Mizzou. Generally, we don t have any funding.
It will allow the organization to accomplish more, Westhoff said. We re just expanding and the funding will give us a lot more resources, said Westhoff, of Lancaster, Calif. It takes us to a new level.
Sustain Mizzou will replace the MU Sustainability Office in the fall semester, she said.
