EN-4: Outreach Materials and Publications

The Center for a Regenerative Future releases a newsletter digest weekly during the academic year and biweekly at other times.  Titled This Week In Sustainability Topics (TWIST), this newsletter goes out via the sustainability listserv. Additionally, the Center produces a monthly printed newsletter, the Stall Street Journal, which goes into all bathrooms in residence halls and other locations around campus. The Center for a Regenerative Future Facebook page is the main social media platform for campus. This is where information on upcoming events, opportunities, learning experience, general information, and more is shared regularly. The Center also has an active Instagram account that helps to pubicize events on campus.

In some buildings, such as the Anderson Academic Commons, interactive screens and/or posters draw attention to the sustainability features in the buildings.  This is done at a building level approach.  An example is a digital sign near the entrance with slides devoted to discouraging single use plastics, explaining what goes in which waste stream, and other sustainability announcements.  Signage on tri-bins also occurs across campus highlighting recycling, trash, and compost options.

Sustainability information regarding goals, operations and the built environment are incorporated in orientation and admissions tours. 

We, the students, staff, and community members of the Housing and Residential Education Department of the University of Denver, recognize the critical importance of sustainability. We commit to environmental, social, and economic sustainability by pledging to "meet the needs of the present generation without compromising the ability of future generations to meet their needs" (Brundtland, 1987). We, as agents of change, will reduce our environmental impact through activism, empowerment, collaboration, and educational programming. In doing so, we view equality, diversity, and social justice as essential components of sustainability. We will work to engage all residents and staff to actively participate in sustainable practices to be leaders in stewardship as global citizens serving the public good.

The Center for a Regenerative Future  publishes the “This Week in Sustainability Topics” Newsletter which discussed topics surrounding global and on campus issues, and tips and tricks for people to integrate practices in their own lives.  Additionally, the Center is launching a podcast with 4 episodes that will cover regenerative topics this academic year. These are available on the website and at all Center for a Regenerative Future events.
