What is Green Athletics?
Founded in August 2023 with the goal to make Northern the greenest in the GLIAC, Green Athletics is a student-driven working group consisting of student-athletes, coaches, and other administrators striving to create and promote sustainable changes within NMU's Athletic Department.
Through collaboration and communication with SHINE, NMU Wildcats and other campus entities, Green Athletics hopes to create long-lasting change throughout NMU, the surrounding Marquette community, and the world beyond. Green Athletics serves as a "sustainability spokesperson" for NMU Athletics, and helps contribute to the growing number of sustainability initiatives throughout NMU.
