Does the institution collaborate with other colleges and universities to support and help build the campus sustainability community?:
A brief summary of papers, guides, presentations, and other resources the institution has developed to share their sustainability experience with other institutions:
During the summer of 2010, CSU Channel Islands prepared an information packet to share with other CSU campuses interested in understanding our "lessons learned" for the STARS Program, including organizational charts, database templates, and contact email examples used in receiving STARS information from various departments on campus. This was shared with Cal Poly Pomona for their use. Additionally, CSU Channel Islands initiated a monthly conference call with other CSU campuses. These discussions included other topics such as greenhouse gas inventory/reduction plan procedures, Innovation credit ideas, and overall STARS progress.
The names of local, state, regional, national, and other campus sustainability organizations or consortia in which the institution participates and/or is a member:
CSU Channel Islands is a member of the Talloires Network, an international association of institutions committed to strengthening the civic roles and social responsibilities of higher education. Two goals of the Talloires Network that relate to sustainability are to foster partnerships between institutions of higher education to increase the relevance of higher education, and facilitate the creation of regional networks of universities dedicated to civic engagement and sustainability.

We have also participated at the Smart & Sustainable Campuses Conference at the University of Maryland, which has allowed us to hear what other institutions across North America are doing to promote sustainable practices and initiatives.
