Preparing Students for a Changing Climate
10th Annual Campus Sustainability Day | Wednesday October 24th, 2012

** Looking for the Keynote Broadcast? CLICK HERE **

Join us in celebrating the 10th Anniversary of Campus Sustainability Day - a national day of action and reflection on the success of the sustainability movement in higher education.  Together, colleges and universities, and the people and organizations that support them are moving new programs and initiatives in education forward in order to create the leaders of a sustainable future. 

How are we preparing students for a changing climate?  Campuses across the country are organizing discussions to gather input from students, faculty, and staff on the best practices and remaining challenges for providing students with the skills and experiences they need to prepare for a changing climate, society, and economy. Second Nature and supporting organizations invite you to join us this year by organizing your campus or regional community with the following event.  Learn more about screening the national broadcast and participating in the event below!

What is Campus Sustainability Day?

How to Participate in the Second Nature Broadcast 
and Regional Conversations

Screen the Campus Sustainability Day Keynote Broadcast.  Gather on your campus to hear national leaders in sustainability education discuss the solutions and challenges to preparing students to meet the needs of a changing economy, society, and planet.  

Then, organize your own campus conversation (or tune in to one of the regional conversations hosted by the CSD 2012 partners) to bring your ideas to the table.  Nominate a student leader from your conversation to take notes, and Second Nature will work with students from across the country to compile a guiding document of the most important steps colleges and universities can take to prepare the next generation of leadership to create a just and sustainable society. 

  • Screen the Keynote Broadcast on Your Campus
    October 24th 2012, 2pm - 3:30pm EST

    Join thought leaders in campus sustainability as they discuss best practices and challenges for preparing students for a changing climate, with an emphasis on curriculum, research, and experiential learning.

  • Host or Participate in a Regional Conversation 
    October 22nd - October 26th 2012, Times and dates vary by region

    How are you preparing students for a changing climate?  We want to hear from campuses across the country, and gather input from students, faculty, and staff on the best practices and remaining challenges for providing students with the skills and experiences they need.  Host a conversation on campus, gather for a virtual conversation with campuses in your region, or tune-in to one of the regional convesations organized in your area.  Appoint a student liaison to take notes - your conversations will be turned into a national guiding document on "Best Practices for Preparing Students for a Changing Climate."
