SUSTAINABILITY SUMMIT
PURPOSE & HISTORY
In 2018, Dartmouth hosted its first Sustainability Summit. This full-day event brought together student leaders from higher-education institutions across the region, including University of Vermont, MIT, McGill, Concordia, Bowdoin, and Dartmouth to develop their sustainability visions, learn about green career opportunities, build inter-campus connections, and create new sustainability initiatives.
Alyssa Gao '20, who spearheaded the planning and development of the summit, was inspired to create this event as a way for campus communities to share and build upon their colleges' sustainability experiences. Gao hoped that this event would "encourage students to think critically about sustainability and reflect on their ability to bring about change on college campuses." (Read the full article here.)
