A brief summary of additional ways the institution collaborates with other campuses to advance sustainability :
Texas A&M attends national and regional sustainability conferences. TAMU has been a participant at AASHE since 2008. We have also collaborated with other campuses through US Greenbuild and Smart & Sustainable Campuses Conferences in Maryland (2008-09; 2013). Additionally, TAMU participates in the Texas Regional Alliance for Campus Sustainability (TRACS) which serves as a forum for regional campuses to share ideas and strategies for enhancing sustainability efforts. TAMU hosted the 2013 TRACS annual summit. TAMU participated in two TRACS presentations at AASHE 2014. As a further tool, we make trips to other intuitions to observe and learn about their successful programs, as well as host institutions who want to learn about our programs.
