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 is helping plan the Oregon Higher Education Sustainability Conference, which brings together colleges and universities across Oregon to focus on topics of sustainability. 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. OSU hosted in 2011 and is assisting in planning for 2013.

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.


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 staff also participate in the Oregon Interagency Sustainability Coordinators Network.


A brief summary of additional ways the institution collaborates with other campuses to advance sustainability :

The OSU Sustainability Office coordinates monthly conference calls amongst sustainability officers at other Oregon University System campuses 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.
