Sustainability, Student Affairs, and Students
Kerr, Kathleen G.; Hart-Steffes, Jeanne S.
New Directions for Student Services, n137 p7-17 Spr 2012
Colleges and universities are developing both the next generation of leaders as well as state-of-the-art technology that allow climate reduction aspirations and triple bottom-line outcomes to become realities. Divisions of student affairs play a crucial role in the sustainability movement in colleges and universities. The technology-savvy, financially mindful, and socially conscious academic enterprise, with the resources of the entire campus community supported by strong professional associations, has focused a great deal of effort to change its course to integrate sustainability into its working mission. Institutions are striving to serve as role models for other organizations in practice, policy, and in the development of human capital to support a sustainable world. Student services units and personnel have a unique opportunity to affect change in campus practice, policy, and student learning. This chapter presents a review of the work being done on college campuses and by major professional associations to integrate sustainability into the student affairs mission.
