Sustainability Summit
As part of the Our Compass: Supporting Our People Action Plan, Tactic 1.4.12 declared the need to host an annual campus-wide Sustainability Summit. In Fall 2024, planning for this first annual summit began with a group of excited students, faculty, and staff.
As we hone in our goals and plans for future summits, the hope will always be to include both campus and community participation, as well as incorporate indigenous-informed sustainability knowledge as a key element of the learning that takes place throughout the day.
