Engaging our staff, students and community
Engagement is a key foundation to our overall sustainability strategy. It’s how we get conversations started, share ideas, knowledge and research, and work together on solutions for some of the world’s greatest challenges.
We have a dedicated staff and student environmental engagement strategy (Word Doc, 199KB) that provides meaningful opportunities for our staff, students, and external partners to connect with sustainability initiatives and take impactful action, both personally and professionally.
