A brief description of the institution’s sustainability projects fund:
The Delongchamp Family Endowed Fund supports undergraduate professional and co-curricular activities associated with studying sustainability and the triple-bottom line: people, planet, and profit. The fund was designed to allow students to explore opportunities that might otherwise be out of reach due to funding issues. These include:
- Attending a conference
- Going to a networking event
- Taking an unpaid or a limited paid internship
- Pursuing a research project
- Creating a public awareness campaign or Project around sustainability
To be considered the student must demonstrate how their project, internship or conference attendance will impact both their scholarship at Bentley and the greater Bentley community.
In Fall 2019 the committee funded a student project with impact on everyday students lives. The project's goal was to measure students attitudes towards sustainability focused behaviors, give them information and products to use throughout the year and then measure their behaviors again. Here was her project proposal: https://docs.google.com/presentation/d/1QZsDlkP9EUY4ifki-f2hQF4C_mYqP3UU4Lbw2nzp798/edit#slide=id.g5c94061de2_0_64

A brief description of the multi-stakeholder decision-making process used to determine which projects receive funding through the sustainability projects fund:
The Delongchamp fund has three deadlines a year where students propose projects or experiences for co-curricular learning. Once all the applications are received there is a Delongchamp fund committee who reviews the applications and decides who will receive funding. The committee consists of Faculty from two different disciplines and staff members from 4 different departments.
