Presentations

Marian Brown (Provost's Office)  and I presented a series of ten posters entitled "Exploring Positive Growth: The Sustainability Initiative at Ithaca College."  The conference, "Greening of the Campus VII" was held at Ball State University,  Muncie, IN. September 2007. View the full report as a PDF here.

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.
