Got Sustainability? Plan for it!

Making Sustainability a Foundation of Higher Education Learning and Practice

•Is your campus green? • What does it mean to be green?* How can you get there?

•What sustainability is and its importance for a secure and civil society;

•The critical role of higher education in creating a sustainable world;

•Strategies for making sustainability a foundation of higher education learning and practice; and

•Their role in creating the changes needed in higher education

SCUP's desire is to bring the topic of sustainability to the higher education community, including those who make policy decisions that influence purchasing, building, energy, curriculum, and more. This event will be an interactive session among some of the most forward thinking, established leaders in all aspects of both sustainability and higher education.
