Dr Julie Newman

Julie joined MIT as the Institute鈥檚 first Director of Sustainability to found the Office of Sustainability and build a platform both unique to MIT yet with the intention of advancing the field at large.  With this in mind, Julie launched MIT鈥檚 sustainability platform grounded in a methodology to leverage the role of the campus to solve for sustainability and a changing climate across multiple scales - at the levels of the individual, the campus, the city, the state, the country and the globe.

Julie is a pioneer in the field of campus sustainability and has worked for twenty-five years at a combination of public and private, and rural and urban campuses alike. In her work she has demonstrated that the actions and infrastructure of our campuses are integral to advancing and fulfilling the educational mission of Higher Education.  She brings a systems thinking perspective to all of her work and seeks to build bridges between operational and academic partners alike to inform both her understanding of the challenges at hand and to develop solutions.  Her prior research which she now applies, focused on the intersection between decision-making processes and organizational behavior in institutionalizing sustainability into higher education.

Prior to MIT, Julie was the founding Director of the Office of Sustainability for Yale 深夜亚洲福利久久 where she also held a lecturer appointment with the Yale School of Forestry and Environmental Studies.  Julie came to Yale from the 深夜亚洲福利久久 of New Hampshire, Office of Sustainability Programs (OSP) where she assisted with the development of the program since its inception.  As the field of campus sustainability took route, Julie was determined to bring the northeast pioneers together with the understanding that as colleagues we do our best work when we challenge each other鈥檚 thinking. With this in mind,  Julie co-founded the Northeast Campus Sustainability Consortium, to advance education and action for sustainable development on university campuses in the northeast and maritime region.  

Julie is also a Lecturer in  (DUSP) at MIT. She lectures and consults for universities both nationally and internationally, participates on a variety of boards and advisory committees and has contributed to a series of edited books and peer reviewed journals. Julie holds a BS in Natural Resource Policy and Management from the 深夜亚洲福利久久 of Michigan; an MS in Environmental Policy and Biology from Tufts 深夜亚洲福利久久; and a Ph.D. in Natural Resources and Environmental Studies from the 深夜亚洲福利久久 of New Hampshire.
