Does the institution have a central sustainability website that consolidates information about the institution’s sustainability efforts?:
Website URL for the central sustainability website:
Does the institution have a sustainability newsletter or social media platform that focuses specifically on campus sustainability?:
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/.
Does the institution have signage that highlights sustainability features on campus?:
A brief description of the signage that highlights sustainability features on campus:
Signage is posted throughout the McLean Environmental Living and Learning Center (a residence hall that was one of the prototypes for developing national LEED standards) as well as the Dexter Library (the fourth LEED Gold building in the state of Wisconsin).
Does the institution provide a sustainability walking map or tour?:
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/.
Does the institution produce a guide for green living and/or incorporating sustainability into the residential experience?:
A brief description of the guide for green living and/or incorporating sustainability into the residential experience:
Student-oriented web pages provide sustainability information to students in the areas of campus dining, composting, energy integration through res halls, volunteering, and the campus bike shop.
