A decade of leadership in sustainability

Mike Lizotte, UNC Charlotte’s sustainability officer, has championed environmental stewardship since joining the University in 2013. After more than a decade of leadership, Lizotte recently announced his retirement, effective May 1.

“Mike’s leadership has elevated our sustainability efforts to a national level,” said Owen Cooks, associate vice chancellor for facilities management. “He brought a spirit of collaboration, curiosity and purpose to every corner of campus. His work has shaped not only our physical environment, but the culture of sustainability that will guide us for years to come.”
