Rationale for Objective: Foster awareness of sustainability and social justice beyond the curriculum (Maintain)

In this objective, the educational mission associated with sustainability expands beyond the curriculum to the broader community, exemplifying aspirations to link theory and practice and assure awareness in students beyond the purely academic realm. The college will maintain a range of activities, as supported by the charge of the Sustainability Council, which engage the entire campus community in learning about and addressing issues of sustainability and social justice. The college will explore new means of documenting the impact or quality of relationships between the campus and external community organizations in order to deepen understanding of those external relationships. Activities supporting this objective will take varied forms from year to year, facilitating the ability to respond to rapidly changing best practices and student interests. The college needs to better document such activities and relationships in the future. Evergreen will remain committed to supporting coordinated study program engagement in meaningful work with community organizations, raising awareness of sustainability in our campus community and beyond, and providing opportunities for active participation in sustainability and social justice activities.
