A brief description of how the strategic plan or amendment addresses the environmental dimensions of sustainability:

Sustainability is one of the seven strategic planning themes adopted in January 2011 by Chancellor Harden as he launched a new University of Wisconsin – Green Bay Strategic Planning initiative. The process of identifying the Strategic Planning Themes was broadly inclusive and involved faculty, staff, students and members of the community in 17 facilitated input sessions. The results were discussed with a wide variety of groups and reviewed by the Leadership Council, Faculty Senate, the Academic Staff Committee, and Cabinet. The themes provide guidance and context as we move forward – they are not intended to reflect where UW – Green Bay is at this moment, but will be used in developing the University’s Strategic Plan during 2011. Strategic planning is an inclusive process, currently ongoing in Academic Affairs, Student Affairs, Business and Finance, Advancement, Athletics and the Chancellor’s Office.

The Sustainability Strategic Planning Theme states: “We demonstrate leadership in our policies, programs and practices toward local and global ecological integrity. As stewards of knowledge, we continue to institutionalize appropriate environmental practices, policies and sustainability-related curriculum decisions. We seek to prepare a community of sustainable learners and ensure our students are being prepared for employment and citizenship in a world defined, in part, by environmental and other challenges. We must ensure that the University promotes sustainability in all aspects of the University.
