On-Campus Advocacy
This team works to encourage and support on-campus sustainability advocacy efforts in which philosophers find productive ways to contact college dean, start or join a sustainability task force, adapt our guidelines for your institution, advocate for a practical discussion of sustainability at faculty meetings in all departments at your institution, involve student leaders, support students in their advocacy projects, and help give off-campus groups access to students.
