Here are some ways we initiate these changes:
- Initiating conversations with partners and host institutions about sustainability
- Prioritizing sustainability curriculum and program logistics during new program proposal and development stages
- Incentivizing itinerary changes to mitigate environmental impact
- Development of a sustainability-focused education abroad course open to all majors at all campuses
Additionally, our sustainability efforts don't stop while promoting them abroad, but continue through in-office practices our team takes pride in such as:
- "Paper-light" or "paper-free" in-person events
- Streamlined print materials that are appropriate for all events
- No more event-specific t-shirts or giveaways
- Conscientious selection of vendors for branded items
- Reducing plastic packaging and shipping distances on promotional items
- Prioritizing local and sustainable vendors for catering
- Offering vegetarian and vegan options only at marquee events
- Updated signage and volunteers to assist with recycling and composting at events
- Enhanced virtual events and self-paced online resources
