SDG Action & Awareness Week
A brief description of the employee educators program (1st program):
The SDG Action and Awareness week is hosted annually with the purpose of promoting awareness of the UN Sustainable Development Goals among students, faculty, and staff in higher education and inspire them to take action in furtherance of the goals on their campuses and in their local community. This program is supported by the University Global Coalition (UGC), in partnership with the State University of New York (SUNY) and a working group representing nine institutions. Partners from around the world were asked to plan and submit SDG-related events to the UGC Calendar of Events through an intake form. Events had to be free of charge, SDG-related, and open to a global audience. Many institutions, including Georgia Tech, also planned events curated for their campus. UGC also shared a variety of SDG-related resources on its website for learning about the SDGs. At Georgia Tech, campus partners planned and hosted 15 GT-specific events which were in-person.
