GW collaborates with area campus partners on sustainability through a group called "Metro DC Sustainability" that includes representatives from American, Georgetown, University of the District of Columbia, George Mason, and Johns Hopkins, among others. GW has hosted meetings for the group.
In addition, GW joined and helped to lead the charge on the DC Mayor's College and University Sustainability Pledge which was signed by all District-schools in February 2012. The District of Columbia Mayor’s College and University Sustainability Pledge (CUSP) invites the District’s institutions of higher education to commit to pursuing sustainability as engaged participants in the Mayor’s ambitious goal of making the District of Columbia the most sustainable city in America. The CUSP recognizes the critical leadership role of the District’s colleges and universities in advancing sustainability on campus and in the community.
