A brief summary of papers, guides, presentations, and other resources the institution has developed to share their sustainability experience with other institutions:

Different groups in Facilities and Services tour peer university campuses:
1. UTEP hosed DAPPA (Desert APPA) June 2012. We discussed various ways we could collaborate on facilities issues and sustainability topics. The New Mexico and West Texas colleges present at our first meeting were University Texas El Paso, El Paso Community College, NMSU, NMSU Carlsbad, Texas Tech Health Sciences Center, and University Texas Permian Basin.

2. University of Arizona in Tucson hosted a tour for NMSU where the Sustainability Manager met with UA Sustainability Manager, accountants met with their counterparts, and our HVAC people got tours of U of A's new chiller plant on campus. Our recycling manager met with UA recycling manager and they "talked waste".


The names of local, state, regional, national, and other campus sustainability organizations or consortia in which the institution participates and/or is a member:

Desert APPA (Southern NM and
West Texas)
Rocky Mountain APPA


A brief summary of additional ways the institution collaborates with other campuses to advance sustainability :

Now that there is a new sustainability manager at Santa Fe Community College (we met at AASHE in LA!) we have plans to meet in Albuquerque and meet at UNM so the three sustainability folks can talk and collaborate on future things that we can do together for our desert environment to green our schools.

Our Facilities and Services Assistant Vice President teaches at various APPA conferences and sustainability is a frequent subject during these conferences.
