California State University, Chico
PAE-2: Strategic Plan

CSU, Chico Strategic Plan Strategic Priority #6: Believing that each generation owes something to those which follow, we will create environmentally literate citizens, who embrace sustainability as a way of living. We will be wise stewards of scarce resources and, in seeking to develop the whole person, be aware that our individual and collective actions have economic, social, and environmental consequences locally, regionally, and globally. A hallmark of Chico State is the beautiful and inviting physical environment of our campus. We will become an environmentally engaged university, seeking to elevate our collective consciousness about the environment, recognizing our responsibilities to steward the inherited and created assets of our region, while articulating these values for the wider audiences we reach. We will make Chico State the distinctive “green” campus in California and become a national leader in environmental education, science, and public policy analysis; the building of environmentally responsible facilities; and practicing sustainability principles. We will • Strengthen our institutional reputation and record regarding environmental stewardship. • Develop all campus planning within the context of sustainability and encourage resource conservation and recycling. • Emphasize the need for all departments and programs to address issues of sustainability. • Monitor our diverse sustainability efforts through outcomes-based assessment, noting successes as well as opportunities for improvement. • Undertake and maintain an environmental focus in our advancement efforts, seeking to tell our story about an environmental orientation in our daily campus life and to enlist partners in our agenda for distinction in these matters. • Develop a strong endowment devoted to expanding and managing our current system of preserves, while expanding our capacity to teach, learn, and serve. 16 • Expand our research efforts through the work of the Bidwell Environmental Institute. • Introduce outside experts and mentors on sustainability to the campus, while seeking to deliver our own powerful story of environmental engagement. • Connect with the local community and civic organizations and agencies to educate and assist in the preservation of natural resources, and help to protect the quality of life that has drawn people to our community. • Seek partners throughout the North State who share our values and who are willing to share their expertise. • Connect the campus and the ecological reserves to Native American practices and values. • Host an annual or biannual conference on sustainability focusing on sustainability and conservation, business practices, civic engagement, social policy, and the curriculum.
