Star&ng  point:  Four  broad  themes  of  discussion.     •  How  do  they  relate  to  campus  sustainability  efforts?

•  Are  these  ideas  connected  and  integrated,  or  do  we  typically  think  of  these  in  isola&on?

•  How  do  we  take  these  broad  themes  and  bring  them  into  perspec&ve  in  a  prac&cal  sense?  

What  if…

How  about  if  we  split  the  university  mission  /  func&ons  into  four  parts…

Research  and  discovery   Leveraging  university  resources  and  human  capital  to  solve  pressing  problems  for  human  society  

Training   Preparing  students  for  careers  and  social  interac&on  within  a  21st  century  environment  (resource-­‐constraints,  rapid  and  unpredictable  technology  changes,  globaliza&on)  

Campus  opera&ons Transi&oning  towards  a  campus  that  becomes  an  integral  part  of  the  learning  experience  and  training  of  the  students.

Direc&onal    Movement

Research  and  discovery  –

Can  we  consider  within  the  original  four  broad  themes  of  discussion?

Discussion 1.  How  these  work  separately

2.  Direc&onal  movements

3.  Strengthening  the  linkages

How  do  these  relate  to  what  we  think  of  as  “next  gen?”

Sustainability  1.0  – •  Small  movements •  Isolated  areas  of  focus •  Incremental  gains •  “Reduce  impacts”  

Sustainability  2.0  – •  Circular  movements •  Integrated  areas  of  focus •  Leaps  and  jumps   •  Transforma&on
