Take Action and Join the Challenge!

 

Back to Back Champions?

Sign up for the Cool Campus Challenge and help UC Irvine win the crowning title of Coolest UC Campus for a second time! Read about how we won the first challenge in 2015 here.

Pledge. Score. Win.

From April 1-26, you and any team you create (departments, offices, clubs, dorms, etc.) can pledge online at CoolCampusChallenge.org to take sustainability actions that reduce your carbon footprint and earn points for yourself, your team and UC Irvine.
The top UC campus, teams and individuals will win awards and we’ll recognize top UC Irvine point earners with prizes like gift cards, solar-powered phone chargers and reusable lunch kits.
