A brief summary of papers, guides, presentations, and other resources the institution has developed to share their sustainability experience with other institutions:
The OSU Sustainability Office staff participates in the Oregon University System (OUS) Officers Network to exchange ideas and resources about how to make each of the seven public institutions in Oregon, and the system as a whole, more sustainable.
OSU is a lead planner for the OUS Conference, which brings together the 7 public Oregon universities. The first conference in 2008, attended by nearly 300 participants, brought together students, faculty, staff, administrators, and members of the State Board of Higher Education to discuss green purchasing, energy management, co-curricular activities, and alternative transportation.
Additionally, as the longest serving sustainability coordinator within the Oregon University System, the OSU Sustainability Coordinator has made numerous presentations at community colleges, K-12 schools, hospitals and other organizations in Oregon and beyond regarding sustainability program development and sustainability-related best practices.
None
The names of local, state, regional, national, and other campus sustainability organizations or consortia in which the institution participates and/or is a member:
Although not an organization dealing strictly with higher education, OSU is a member of the Corvallis Sustainability Coalition, a network of organizations and individuals in Corvallis, Oregon. With the help of OSU, the Coalition formed in 2007 to bring together businesses, non-profits, faith communities, educational institutions, and government entities in the Corvallis area to accelerate the creation of a sustainable community - one that values environmental quality, social equity, and economic vitality.
OSU is also a member of The Natural Step, a non-profit environmental education organization working to build an ecologically and economically sustainable society.
None
A brief summary of additional ways the institution collaborates with other campuses to advance sustainability :
OSU participated in a regional conference in Salem, Oregon and Willamette University to discuss a regional sustainability network or membership organization. It was decided that since AASHE (at the time EFS-West) was gaining momentum, the partners at the table would maintain the dialogue but instead turn to AASHE as the membership organization to support sustainability in higher education.
Many local sustainability coordinators in Oregon and SW Washington participate in the Public Sector Sustainability Coordinators Network, which hosts monthly meetings on sustainability topics in the Willamette Valley area.
