About the Sustainability and the Anchor Mission Huddle: How do sustainability efforts and the anchor mission work together and reinforce institutional goals in higher education? Participants explore a variety of lenses for thinking about sustainability efforts and long-term regional impact. Guest conversation partners join each interactive session to introduce topics such as institutional data reporting, campus initiatives, community-based research, and regional collaboratives. Throughout the meetings, the group focuses on approaching challenges collaboratively and with an open mind, co-creating a vision, unique to each university context, of a sustainable, just future supported by sustainable anchor campuses. We welcome colleagues who work in sustainability or on anchor initiatives on their own campus as well as anyone who would like to learn more about these topics.
