Stan Meiburg, a former longtime EPA official, is stepping down from his leadership post at Wake Forest University.
Meiburg will retire as executive director of the Sabin Family Center for Environment and Sustainability at the end of June, the university announced Thursday. He has led the center for more than two years after joining the school in 2017 as director of its sustainability graduate studies.
“Stan’s leadership of the Sabin Center has left an indelible mark on Wake Forest, positioning it as a celebrated hub for transformative sustainability work that aligns beautifully with our commitment to lifelong learning and inquiry,” said Michele Gillespie, the university’s provost, in a statement.
Meiburg said in a statement the school has committed to sustainability in its strategic framework while its faculty is pursuing research in the field. “The center has a bright and dynamic path forward,” he said.
