  • stimulate and support the creation of a universitywide learning community around sustainability-related research and teaching
  • help implement WMU's new strategic plan and meet our sustainability commitments

LUNCHEON SERIES
The Office for Sustainability is requesting two to six faculty members (determined by the size of the college) from each academic college to participate in three luncheons throughout the spring semester to help:

  • explore the information gleaned from the survey
  • identify areas where further research or clarification is necessary
  • refine the interpretation of necessary incentives, and resources, policies to foster sustainability-related research and teaching
Recommendations will be compiled in a report to the president and provost.

Survey Background

The survey grew out of a brainstorming session of the President's Universitywide Sustainability Committee. That group identified luncheon working group sessions as key to building a campuswide learning community around sustainability.
