The Campus Sustainability Hub is an online resource library that provides access to nearly 15,000 valuable resources for campus sustainability practitioners, enabling AASHE members to share and learn about all aspects of sustainability in higher education. Resources are organised by sustainability topic (e.g., curriculum, public engagement, energy, investment) and content type (e.g., academic program, case study, conference presentation, photograph).
AASHE presents or co-sponsors workshops and webinars throughout the year, as well as an annual conference that serves as the largest stage in North America for higher education sustainability practitioners to take advantage of face-to-face networking in a collaborative environment. We are also able to participate in the mentorship program which connects sustainability staff and faculty with peers to share knowledge and cooperate on projects based on your goals, experience and interests. These events and programs offer opportunities to connect with our colleagues at regional, national and international levels to share resources. Check this listing for upcoming events.
