A brief description of the institution’s sustainability partnerships with the local community:
LMU has the Center for Urban Resilience and Ecological Solutions. While CURES intends to develop ongoing partnerships and projects with many organizations dedicated to environmental protection and to education, in the beginning CURES will work primarily with the Friends of Ballona Wetlands and the Santa Monica Bay Restoration Comission, both of which focus on significant environmental resources adjacent to the campus, and with the Urban Ecology Center based in Boston. In addition, a community science program is being developed with generous support from the office of County Supervisor Mark Ridley-Thomas. The goal of this program is to empower participants to engage their communities in urban ecology and green technology by providing scientific monitoring tools to help community members of all ages gather critical environmental data that will both bolster their stewardship and better the ecosystem and social health of their communities.
