A brief description of how multiple stakeholder groups were involved in developing the plan:
Faculty, Staff, and Students developed a Climate Action Plan that lead to submitting a sustainability plan to the ISU Strategic Plan to fund an Office of Sustainability. This sustainability plan includes benchmarks for measurable goals of student sustainability research, engage with our surrounding community in sustainability research (including social justice), and diversifying our revenue funds through grants and philanthropic giving. In the web link below see Goal 2 Initiative 2a.

A brief description of how progress in meeting the plan’s goals is measured:
Each goal has a year-by-year identifiable benchmark that is based on grants submitted through our Office of Sponsored Programs, student projects completed and presented, or presentations given. We also have other goals such as the number of community boards that our faculty and staff serve on which makes a great impact through community engagement. We have achieved or 2012 goals.
