The Sustainability Knowledge Community exists to advance the role that Student Affairs can play in sustainability initiatives on college and university campuses.
Our Vision is that through the work of the Sustainability Knowledge Community, Student Affairs professionals will take a leadership role in modeling and teaching sustainability in higher education. Each NASPA campus will identify practices and people (students, faculty and staff, as well as resources outside of the academy) committed to environmentally friendly practices, sustainable living, ethical & civic engagement, and related social justice issues. These individuals will work to advance awareness and education related to these subjects, to develop plans for embedding principles and practices across the breadth of Student Affairs organizational units and to establish goals and outcomes to assess progress.
Our Goals are centered around a framework of: Education, Activation, Leadership, Engagement, Innovative Practices, Social Justice, Communities of Practice, and Institutionalization of the sustainability agenda.
