This organization holds monthly conference calls to discuss sustainability work on our campuses, share best practices, and generate ideas. In June 2013, Furman planned and hosted a conference of the group. It was attended by 28 professionals representing 23 higher education institutions throughout the southeastern U.S. The 2.5 day conference included formal presentations, sustainability-related field trips in Greenville, S.C. as well as informal opportunities for networking and idea-sharing.


A brief summary of additional ways the institution collaborates with other campuses to advance sustainability :

Center for Sustainability staff are often consulted by professionals in other organizations, including higher education, about the university's sustainability efforts. This takes the form of meetings, phone calls, e-mail exchanges, and formal presentations to present about the university's sustainability efforts.
