A brief summary of papers, guides, presentations, and other resources the institution has developed to share their sustainability experience with other institutions:
Almost all of the sustainability guides and pamphlets designed to educate and promote sustainability, are available via our website. The Center for Sustainability regularly makes presentations at local and national events (West Michigan Sustainable Business Forum, middle/high schools, Rotary clubs, Dominican Colloquium, etc…) to share our lessons learned. We also have a very extensive external web site educating the community on sustainability issues (www.centerforsustainability.org).

A brief summary of additional ways the institution collaborates with other campuses to advance sustainability :
Aquinas is frequently called upon to share our expertise in sustainability curriculum and campus sustainability efforts. For example, Calvin College made Aquinas one of their stops during their Sustainability Summit in June. In addition, the Director of Sustainability completed a day visit and consultation with the leadership of Madonna University (December 2011) and Siena Heights (November 2013). The Director of Sustainability sits on the board for the Community Sustainability Partnership, which is dedicated to promoting sustainability in education locally and the U.S. Green Building Council, West Michigan Chapter. We presented at the AASHE conference in Tennessee (October 2013) titled: “Zero Waste: A Model for Transformational Change”.
