Colleges to Celebrate Campus Sustainability Month through #CleanEnergyU
October is Campus Sustainability Month and colleges across the U.S. are using it as an opportunity to engage their students and faculty in discussions – both online and on campus – to help promote a clean energy future.
From tweetathons to classroom workshops, campuses will have several opportunities to join the #CleanEnergyU conversation, exploring the following questions:
- How could campuses best lead their communities towards a clean energy future?
- How could you most effectively lead such change? What changemaker roles/qualities might you bring?
Activities kick off Sept. 26 during Climate Week NYC 2015. Students and campus leaders from the area are invited to meet some of the most brilliant clean energy leaders and talented millennials. This interactive #CleanEnergyU kickoff event at the ImpactHub challenges speakers, workshop participants and Climate Week attendees to design creative solutions to bring communities and campuses closer to a clean energy future. Participants unable to attend in person can share questions, live tweet and follow the webcast via #CleanEnergyU. More details.
On Oct. 21, students and clean energy leaders are invited to join a #CleanEnergyU live tweetathon. Special guests will include GreenBiz’s Joel Makower, GM’s David Tulauskas and Climate Group’s Mark Kenber, among a dozen others. Speakers will explore topics focused on campus clean energy transformations in the community and how to effectively foster “changemaker” talents.
Throughout the month, students are invited to share their ideas and questions on campus through sticky-note walls and photos. Campus leaders and students can find these ideas and more in the #CleanEnergyU facilitation event guide.
