This is followed by a large group discussion The dialogue is initiated, designed, and run by sustainability students and faculty each year. The most recent dialogue took place in October 2020 and focused on the impacts of climate change and social justice. This year it was held virtually with 140 participates from 7 other colleges and universities.
A brief description of the measured positive impact(s) of the campaign:
The dialogue opens up lines of communication between students who may have had no previous experience around sustainability, and were not engaged in discussions around the international impacts of sustainable living. This program also introduces incoming students to the community of sustainability practitioners on campus and empowers all participants to take action on a personal, local, regional or bigger level. The dialogues also provide us with information about what sustainability initiatives students, faculty and staff are most interested in supporting on campus.
