Information for Staff

The Sustainability Learning Community offers new ways for academic and general staff to collaborate with students on campus projects.

If you are a lecturer and need ideas for course projects, consider this:

• The campus offers an ideal laboratory for students to test out classroom theory.
• Campus projects require no travel and fit easily into your course schedule. 
• The concepts of sustainability can be applied to any discipline - students enrolled in courses from Science to Arts to Business have all completed campus sustainability projects for assessment. 
• Involvement in campus projects offers a form of experiential learning that truly engages students in a hands-on learning process.  

Projects examples include:

• Sustainability reporting and business plans
• Marketing green office or residential programs
• Cost - benefit analysis of sustainability policies
• Energy or water conservation planning, analysis and implementation
• Green design
• Applied environmental management
• Ecological footprint studies
• Carbon emissions and mitigation studies
