What are We Advancing? Advancing Sustainability in Higher Education: Integration of the University and College Development Office
California Polytechnic State University, Higher Education Associations Sustainability Consortium (HEASC)
Description
This paper examines the shifting role of the university and college advancement office in a national trend toward advancing sustainability in higher education and presents a range of ideas in support of a more whole-system approach to the conservation, alignment and development of resources in support of more sustainable institutions. This is not about green funding initiatives; rather, it is about how campus leaders can collectively advance a future vision of higher education - by modeling the very principles of sustainability they purport to advance.
