Abstract:
Ithaca College has undertaken a campus-wide sustainability initiative with three major areas
of focus: faculty research into related fields of study and active support for curriculum modification
to infuse considerations of sustainability into courses across disciplines; campus operational reforms
to become more sustainable and to provide a supportive living-learning environment that models the
theory and principles presented in our classrooms; and communication within our campus community and
outreach to our surrounding community in the region. We will offer a comprehensive poster session that
includes presentations and displays from all the various participants involved in the Ithaca College
sustainability initiative; this will include (but not be limited to) each of the following related
programs and activities: Curriculum and Research, Campus Operations, and Communication
and Outreach.
