ARCHE, with its existing Presidential Network of Metro-Atlanta colleges and universities, is a platform to drive leadership in sustainable best practices that benefit our campuses, create efficiencies, and improve the quality of life in our region. Led by our president and current ARCHE board chair, the Center for Sustainability hosted a meeting of all sustainability directors from the ARCHE member institutions to draft a resolution for the ARCHE board to create a Sustainable Consortium made up of sustainability experts in each member campus. The purpose of the Consortium is to develop shared goals focused on sustainable operations, build regional partnerships, and develop solutions together at an effective economy of scale for greatest regional impact.
