Wake Forest sustainability staff and faculty from several disciplines, including Business Administration and History, have given presentations at national conferences including AASHE and AACSB on a variety of sustainability-related topics.
Additionally, the director has presented collaboratively on conference panels with peers from other campuses including University of Florida, University of Arizona, UNC Chapel Hill, NC State, Davidson, Duke, UC Boulder, and Middlebury. Topics have included alternative approaches to sustainability curriculum, engaging faculty from a non-academic post, climate action planning, mentoring student leaders, creating campus networks for sustainability, and sustainability in athletics.
In 2010, Wake Forest hosted a "Sustainability across the Curriculum" conference that brought together experts from across North America to address the challenges of taking curriculum for sustainability to the next level. As a follow-up to this conference, the university is assembling an edited volume of case studies for publication in 2012.
