We established the Indiana Green Campus Network (IGCN). The Indiana Green Campus Network builds on the ASE Green Campus Program in California, which has grown from six campuses in 2004 to 19 campuses during the 2010 – 2011 academic year. The program employs nearly 100 student interns each year, and reaches thousands of additional students through volunteer and for-credit opportunities. The program’s objectives are to save energy, infuse energy efficiency into academic curriculum, increase campus awareness of energy efficiency through outreach, and develop a green workforce. Many interns who were actively involved in the California Green Campus Program (2004 – present) have graduated and secured positions in energy-related and green fields, which can largely be attributed to the experience and skills they developed through the program. The Indiana Green Campus Network will build on this California model and continue to foster professional development in students, building pathways to green careers. Member Schools 1.
