Assessing Progress Toward Sustainability in Higher Education
March 29-31, 2001

In March 2001, University Leaders for a Sustainable Future and the National Wildlife Federation's Campus Ecology Program cohosted a two-part event on "Assessing Progress Toward Sustainability in Higher Education":

Part One: a Stakeholder Meeting, including representatives from the state and federal governments, business and higher education associations, to consider how sustainability can be elevated as a concern in higher education and what opportunities exist for environmental and sustainability assessment. For more information, visit NWF's Campus Ecology website at www.nwf.org/campusecology/stakeholders.cfm.

Part Two: an intensive "Consultation," involving 35 experienced faculty, graduate students and practitioners, to explore the current status of sustainability in higher education and what hinders or enhances its emergence as a central academic concern in teaching, research, operations and outreach.
