Graham Browning

Sustainability Manager

Graham joined the Hopkins Dining team in June 2022 and is responsible for all things sustainability when it comes to food and dining. This includes sourcing sustainable ingredients, creating partnerships across local and national sustainable food systems, helping create sustainable best practices within our program, partnering with the Office of Climate and Sustainability and other stakeholders to implement the university’s Climate Action and Sustainability Plan, and so much more.

She earned her degree in Health Sciences and Environmental Sciences from Furman University. Then she went to Washington, D.C. for an internship working with a non-profit focused on food security and healthy food policy. After finishing her internship, she received her Masters of Science in Industrial Ecology at Delft University of Technology in the Netherlands. Graham believes that systemic, sustainable changes can be made with little steps. Graham’s favorite part about the Hopkins Dining program is discovering new sustainable ingredients and partnering with local food producers.

Graham is a LEED Green Associate and is pursuing her specialization in Operations and Maintenance to make Hopkins Dining more sustainable from every angle.
