Sustainability newsletter or social media platform

Does the institution have a sustainability newsletter or social media platform that focuses specifically on campus sustainability?:
Yes

A brief description of the sustainability newsletter or social media platform:
The College does not physically print a newsletter because we decided that the lifespan of a printed piece was too brief and less effective than the numerous social media channels on campus (listed below). Instead, the College highlights sustainability stories through our online sustainability newsfeed (blog or online newsletter) in the sustainability section of our website: https://www.northland.edu/sustainability/.

Signage

Sustainability map or tour

Does the institution provide a sustainability walking map or tour?:
Yes

A brief description of the sustainability walking map or tour:
Sustainability tours are given frequently as part of campus events such as our annual Fall Festival, prospective student Visit Days, new employee orientation, and on request. The admissions office has added many of the sustainability tour items into their individual campus tours.

For those not able to come on campus, a sustainability photo tour is available online at https://www.northland.edu/sustainability/.
