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 Athletics, EcoReps, 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.

The purpose of this portfolio is to exhibit all of the background research that was conducted prior to the formation of Green Athletics, and the numerous projects and events that have been completed since the group’s initial establishment. It is our hope that other universities and athletic departments will utilize this portfolio as a template for their own institution to replicate these same efforts in the future.
