What does sustainability mean to you and to the College?

ÐÓ°ÉÔ­°æÓ°Òô has a long history of sustainability leadership, from the Sustainability Leadership Group to specialty courses across the natural sciences, social sciences, and humanities. In an effort to strengthen and accelerate the potential of sustainability on campus and in our region, the President’s Office has launched a pilot program to build Bryn Mawr into a living sustainability laboratory.  

Now is a crucial moment to join together in conversation and collective visioning about what sustainability at Bryn Mawr has been, what it could be, and how to work together to enact the visions we share first in our work together on campus and then more broadly. How can Bryn Mawr make the climate crisis (and intersecting crises of inequality) central to what we do, especially in its sustainability efforts? What kinds of deep organizational change on campus and beyond are possible through this work? 

Join the campus community on Nov. 21 from 4-5 p.m. in Dalton 300 for a listening session that will engage these issues, with particular attention to the hiring of Bryn Mawr’s new Sustainability Coordinator.

What to bring to this session: An open mind and energy for dialogue and visioning. Please review the recently updated Sustainability website prior the session for relevant background, if your time permits. 

What you will get from this session: An opportunity to ask questions and offer suggestions to help inform the collective visioning around the intersections of sustainability, the climate crisis, and just transition movements.
