A brief description of the innovative policy, practice, program, or outcome:
U of MN Sustainability Studies Minor and Minnesota (MN) GreenStep Cities Program Partnership
This partnership was to link team of students from multiple disciplines in the Sustainability Minor Capstone Class with their hometowns and other cities to assess sustainability progress against the MN GreenStep Cities program. MN GreenStep Cities is a voluntary challenge, assistance and recognition program to help cities achieve their sustainability and quality-of-life goals. The project helped raise awareness across the state about the GreenStep Cities program while students interacted with city staff and city leaders to encourage participation.
