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

The Office of Sustainability has established a leadership platform upon which we exchange best practices with institutions locally, regionally, nationally and internationally. By discussing our objectives and methods, we motivate other institutions and communities to set similarly ambitious goals and we advance the dialogue on an issue of transcendent importance. The Office is now working on how to enhance the existing inter-institutional relationships and build new alliances of this nature within New Haven and Connecticut.
