The Place Studies Program of the Bucknell Environmental Center has helped to create the Susquehanna Valley Research Consortium. Through this effort, the university provides staff, student, and faculty support and leadership alongside the directors of United Ways throughout the region. We have developed a data-driven support network, where we provide research on and about social issues which the United Ways are engaged with as a tool for evaluating community impacts. Our work with this consortium operates across multiple sustainability dimensions, including health, housing, education, exposure to toxins and natural resources.

We have a range of non-local sustainability partnerships. In Nicaragua, Bucknell has been actively involved with a community-based development and in-depth education program since 1999. More recently, the members of the Management for Sustainability program have developed a multidisciplinary projects in Guatamala called "Project for Sustainable Eye Care" (PRoSEC). In this program, faculty from Management and Engineering work together to create cost effective eye glasses.

Data source(s) and notes about the submission:
The single website URL is not feasible for this module as the projects on campus are diverse and information about them is available on a variety of sites. For now, I have put down the Environmental Center webpage, with the expectation that this site will function as a hub to other sites within the University web universe.
Since the performance year, some significant changes to sustainability programming have occurred at the University. Most notably the Bucknell University Environmental Center has changed to the Bucknell Center for Sustainability and the Environment, and the Campus Greening Initiative has changed to the Sustainable Design Program. As a result, the content of the associated websites may reflect these changes.
