A brief description of the campaign (2nd campaign):
SFSU hosted many campuswide events aimed at students and staff around sustainability. SFSU hosted its annual Earth Week that consisted of vegan food trucks, student panels, faculty roundtables, live music, sustainability events on the quad, etc. During Earth Week, SFSU hosted its first Climate Symposium which consisted of faculty panels, student panels, local activist panel speaker series. All employees and students were encouraged to attend the event.
The same week as Earth Week, the Center for Ethical and Sustainable Business hosts its annual Business Ethics Week, which focuses on teaching Ethics in all Business classes. Most events are open to the entire campus. A Special vegan dinner was prepared in the on campus restaurant as part of Business Ethics Week.
A brief description of the measured positive impact(s) of the campaign (2nd campaign):
Earth Week, Climate Symposium, and Business Ethics Week are all geared toward educating students on the many facets of sustainability. The campus-wide events are organized by all areas of the campus to extend the outreach of and increase accessibility to these events. SFSU wants to make sure all students on campus (or off-campus, for Zoom events) are learning how to live more sustainability, to discuss sustainability concepts in their classes or at the events, and what San Francisco State University is achieving through sustainability strategies.
