ABSTRACT:
The UA has initiated and supported a tremendous amount of sustainability-related activities (http://www.portal.environment.arizona.edu/campus-sustainability/office-o...). We have tremendous strengths in a variety of academic and research disciplines, and we have achieved recognition regionally and nationally for our involvement of students, our Green Fund, and many of our campus infrastructure investments. Advancement to the next level of addressing sustainability challenges requires us to move beyond individual projects and activities scattered throughout the university and toward a university-wide vision of higher education leadership for a sustainable world. This presentation will hint at what that vision might look like, and will explore the leadership skills UA students will need to lead this change.
