The NEIU Campus Green Fee Committee consists of two students appointed by the Green Cycle Group (an interdisciplinary environmental club), two students appointed by the Student Government Association (SGA), and one student appointed by the Chairperson of the Department of Geography & Environmental Studies. Faculty members include the faculty advisor of the Green Cycle Group, one NEIU faculty member appointed by the Chairperson of G&ES.
