A brief summary of papers, guides, presentations, and other resources the institution has developed to share their sustainability experience with other institutions:
Muhlenberg College collaborates with other colleges and universities to support and help build the campus sustainability community. We are members of the Lehigh Valley Association of Independent Colleges (LVAIC) sustainability committee. The committee has supported 3 conferences over the past 5 years and has quarterly meetings regarding sustainability coordination across the campuses. The most recent conference took place in the spring semester of 2016, at Lehigh University. During this conference, multiple colleges and Universities came together and shared information regarding research and methods to make campuses more sustainable. Please see attached document for the list of presentations. We are also part of the Lehigh Valley Research Consortium, or LVRC for short. This is an organization researchers from LVAIC, along with community partners work together to collect data and analyze it regarding a number of topics. Each year this organization publishes their findings in a document called “State of the Lehigh Valley”. There is a sustainability component in each one, but some years focus on that topic more than others.
