David Havelick, Harvard Office for Sustainability
David Havelick is an Associate Director at the Harvard University Office for Sustainability. He works with faculty, students, staff, alumni, and senior leaders to translate cutting-edge research into practice and to ensure that research informs the priorities of the Office and the university. Examples of his work include leading the creation of Harvard’s updated University Sustainability Action Plan (2023) and its Sustainable and Healthful Food Standards (2019). He speaks nationally and internationally about this work, hoping that this work can scale well beyond the campus. David graduated from UMass Amherst with a degree in Political Science and Sociology in 2005, and earned his master’s degree in Sustainability and Environmental Management from the Harvard Extension School in 2014.
