Shideh Dashti, an associate professor of geotechnical engineering and geomechanics, has won a Green Faculty award through the 27th annual Campus Sustainability Awards Program. The award was given to Dashti for her leadership in establishing Resilient Infrastructure with Sustainability and Equity (RISE), a research initiative focusing on climate change, disaster resilience and sustainability, notably shedding light on the climate vulnerabilities of incarcerated populations in ÃÛÌÇÖ±²¥.

The Campus Sustainability Awards program recognizes outstanding individuals and departments who demonstrate a sincere commitment to enhancing ÃÛÌÇÖ±²¥ Boulder’s longstanding commitment to sustainability. Awardees exhibit innovation that directly reduces the university's ecological footprint, enhances social cohesion and equity in the campus community and/or integrates sustainability into the culture of Boulder and our local communities. This year, there are eight campus sustainability awardees

Awards will be in the form of a 100 percent recycled-content plaque presented by campus leadership at the 31st annual Campus Sustainability Summit on April 25.
