Formed in 2022, DC CHEERS is a group of Washington region sustainablity faculty who have formed a collective to advance sustainability teaching, learning, research, and service at their respective institutions.

The Coalition meets on a monthly basis to share lessons learned and best practices for engaging and equipping students with the knowlege needed to take action now and prepare for a future in the sustainability workforce or to integrate sustainability in their daily lives. In the spring of 2023, CHEERS began work to establish a first-of-its kind cross-campus sustainabilty course open to all students at institutions included in the Consortium of Universities of the Washinton Metropolitan Area.
