A brief summary of papers, guides, presentations, and other resources the institution has developed to share their sustainability experience with other institutions:
The sustainability coordinators, faculty, staff, and students of several Utah colleges/universities gather together 2-4 times annually to share information on a variety of sustainability-related topics. At our last meeting for example we discussed how to incorporate sustainability into the curriculum, how to finance and choose the best energy-efficiency projects, how to get the campus community more involved in sustainability initiatives, how to collect data for STARS, and how to get a student green or sustainability fee passed. Those institutions that are further ahead than the others on these issues share information with one another and then email relevant information to their peer institutions. For example, WSU is in the process of trying to get a sustainability fee passed. Both Utah State University and University of Utah passed such fees and shared with us their student survey and campaign materials. WSU has been a leader in energy project financing and has provided presentations to the other Utah colleges/universities regarding how we are funding and choosing our projects.
None
