A brief description of how the institution engages in public policy advocacy for sustainability, including the issues, legislation, and ordinances for or against which the institution has advocated:
As an institution, the college does not advocate for public policy. Instead, we encourage our students to engage and advocate for issues which they believe in.
Specifically connected to sustainability, the recent advocacy has included the following:
- Encouraging students to vote, providing details about how to complete an absentee vote at the polls, and educating about issues which are being debated and likely important to college students.
- A student group worked to educate students about fracking in Iowa, and advocated to local politicians to discourage allowing it in the state. This group has also done some awareness building about oil pipelines traveling through our states.
