Does the institution collaborate with other colleges and universities to support and help build the campus sustainability community?:
A brief summary of papers, guides, presentations, and other resources the institution has developed to share their sustainability experience with other institutions:
1. Bentley hosted a C2C Fellows workshop, facilitated by Bard College for Environmental Policy, which was a weekend-long workshop on sustainability leadership in business and politics. This program was open to all students for a small fee and was free to Bentley students. Over 45 students attended, only 8 of whom were from Bentley.
2. The Director of Sustainability presented at the Association to Advance Collegiate Schools of Business (AACSB) Sustainability conference: a presentation that shared best practices with other business institutions and programs.
3. Each year, the Office of Sustainability covers the cost of 10 students to attend the annual Eco Rep symposium. This allows our sustainability leaders an opportunity to share and borrow ideas and even present about our unique initiatives like the Green Certification Program.
4. The Office of Sustainability's "Sustainability Film Series" is open to the public and Waltham residents are encouraged to attend.
5. The Bentley Service Learning Center has worked to incorporate sustainability service learning projects into its programs. Students have recently done energy efficiency education and outreach work for local small businesses.
