Target I: Sustainability Engagement

Responsible party: UW Sustainability, Whole U
FY 2021 steps:

1. UW Sustainability will lead an effort to define “sustainability engagement” in measurable terms, and assess a 2020 baseline. The defined measurement unit shall correlate to an individual receiving an encouragement toward considering environmental impact, human health, diversity, equity or inclusion in the context of their participation in the UW community.
2. The Whole U plans to continue offering a seminar every quarter in collaboration with UW Sustainability and will add sustainability features to a monthly editorial calendar and encourage UW Sustainability to contribute articles or recommend other UW faculty and staff.
3. UW Sustainability will revamp the Green Office and Lab Certification programs and include student ambassadors; provide student capstone internships to engage with underrepresented groups and RSOs; develop an inclusion plan for outreach communications.
4. The Whole U will add a sustainability focus for every signature program that involved overall wellness.

FY 2021 steps:

1. Coordinate with Continuum college to incorporate sustainability into their curriculum, track attendance for these courses and offer continuing communications to attendees through newsletters, website and social media.
2. Collect data on sustainability focused Registered Student Organizations (RSOs), and promote student engagement with community service through these RSOs. Depending on current levels of engagement, provide information and resources to these RSOs regarding engagement with both episodic and long-term volunteer opportunities. Evaluate expanding opportunities to all RSOs.
