AASHE will have a booth at the 8th annual National Sustainable Design Expo on the National Mall in Washington D.C. on April 21-23.

In a recent blog, Dave Newport, Director of the Environmental Center at the University of Colorado at Boulder, AASHE board member, and colleague began tolling the bell over the “Death of Campus Sustainability.” In his blog article, Dave asserts that what appears to be a flattening of the growth of sustainability activities (by a few measures) is a harbinger of death. He also asserts that campus sustainability has done little to go beyond environmental sustainability. On the latter (complex) point, I agree; on the former, I beg to differ.

Welcome to the second part of a two-part AASHE Bulletin Sustainability Student Diary entry by Darlene Seto, a graduate student at the Institute for Resources, Environment, and Sustainability at the University of British Columbia. Looking at ways that gender can play a role for a student of sustainability, this installment explores gender as a concern for students in their academic careers. In the first installment, posted last week, Seto talked about gender as it relates to environment-related research. This blog post was originally posted on the Getting to GREENR blog, which supports GREENR, an interdisciplinary web portal for environmental and sustainability studies. AASHE welcomes questions and invites feedback on each Sustainability Student Diary entry. Submit diary entries of your own for consideration to bulletin@aashe.org.
