A brief description of the institution’s formal community partnership to advance sustainability:
Florida Tech has worked with our neighboring Title I middle school, Stone Magnet Middle School, since 2020 through the present to introduce native landscaping to this large institutional-appearing campus. Because of the proximity to a threatened estuarian system, the Indian River Lagoon, many STEM and art opportunities are available to reinforce the interdependence of socio-economic and ecological systems. This work has included the acquisition of funds and much donated time among students and faculty to plant a Florida native forest on the east side of the campus, near a massive bus loop previously void of trees or shrubs. We are working with the students and staff at the school and the local community to transfer this knowledge beyond Stone's campus and into surrounding areas.
