Sustainability | Sustainability Talks Missing Student Voice

Chances are you have heard the word 'sustainability' time or two from being at DePaul. You probably have noticed the water bottle filling stations and have seen the new trashcans outside the sac. But what is sustainability, and what it means to DePaul? That's exactly what the Sustainability Initiative Task Force (SITF) is trying to answer a series of 'round-table discussions' with the faculty and student-leaders.
"It's not just recycle," said Dr. Ron Nasher, who is hosting the meetings. Although the environment is what comes to most people's minds when they think of sustainability, it is actually in three parts, a program of interlinked environmental, economic and social sustainability.

One of the programs that helped SITF MBA to create a concentration in sustainable management; which is interconnected within the school curriculum of commerce, las and the school of communications. In the future, they are looking at creating a sustainable community development program graduate level, according to the Las Dean, Charles Suchar. "I'm very excited," Dr. Suchar said the group of about 15 faculty members who had gathered around the table. "We are changing and changing parts of the curriculum [about sustainability]."
SITF until October to plan describing their initiatives in the future before a report about Father Holtschneider. But you don 't wait that long to find out what is going on.
While communication in question was brought up in discussions that would like to Dr. Nasher students aware that sustainability at DePaul isn 't new, and there are ongoing projects. The website, of course, one of the easiest places to find information (sustainability.depaul.edu) but if you still have questions, concerns or ideas, Dr. Nasher members (rnasher@depaul.edu) or take a email persuaded to attend SGA meetings.
"If it doesn 't impact the students, the very people we are here for, it will be very little impact." That's what Dr. Suchar left the group to think about before leaving the meeting. The faculty who attended came from all parts of the university, athletics and the program including the first year. One group was to ask the student. The very people who would like to Dr. Suchar was concerned only with those that brainstorming ways to enhance DePaul's sustainability efforts and communications.
The good news is that not more than two round-table meeting on May 8 and 13 and the rough draft of the proposal SITF 'due until August. Considering that the plenty of time to learn more about the whole program at DePaul sustainability and involvement.
