About MSAC

The McMaster Sustainability Advisory Council (MSAC) is responsible for promoting and advocating for the advancement of sustainability at McMaster.

MSAC operates on the principle that sustainability is a key aspect of the McMaster identity. This principle includes:

• Encouraging fully integrated planning between administrative and academic leadership to adopt a “One University” approach for the advancement of sustainability;
• Working to elevate McMaster’s position as a global leader in addressing climate change;
• Leveraging the McMaster campus as a living laboratory for sustainability research, education, and impact;
• Working with students as partners in the sustainability learning process who, as the core of our community, should each receive a holistic, transformational, and personalized student experience;
• Acting as agents of change by engaging in collaboration and partnerships at the local, national, Indigenous, and global levels; and
• Advancing the principles of community engagement as the foundation for campus-community partnerships
