A brief description of the campaign, including how students and/or employees were engaged:
Some campaigns are dorm-centered, while others include the whole campus. The desired long range goal for all sustainability-oriented campaigns is behavior change resulting from increased awareness. The campaigns, contests and collaborative efforts attempt to achieve this goal by holding a time-limited event (or series of events leading to a completion), measuring impact, and celebrating results.
A brief description of the measured positive impact(s) of the campaign:
Measured positive impacts (and measured negative impacts as well: we learn from our ability to recover and adapt) can be in the form of percentages, volumes, attendees, or outcomes. For example, Conservation Nationals and Powerdown impacted energy use and greenhouse gas emissions: the reductions per dorm and versus previous year were shared as percentages in news articles, bulletin boards, slide presentations and web postings, etc. The Sustainability Pledge campaign measures numbers of students who have promised to do various sustainable lifestyle choices and how many pledge to each behavior. The Rain Garden Initiative Campaign is measured by outcome: students broadly shared information on climate change, storm water run off, watershed pollution and rain garden mitigation to various campus groups and by tabling and received sufficient donations to construct a working rain garden on campus. The Student Sustainability Fund has a committee that ranks submissions, awards funds and then tracks the results of the funded projects in the appropriate metrics.
