[00:00:16.16]
so our topic today is navigating
[00:00:21.15]

[00:00:19.07]
community engagement sustainability and
[00:00:23.05]

[00:00:21.15]
service-learning opportunities at
[00:00:26.14]

[00:00:23.05]
Georgia Tech so we are pleased to have
[00:00:29.05]

[00:00:26.14]
speakers with us today
[00:00:31.16]

[00:00:29.05]
let me start by introducing Rebecca
[00:00:34.10]

[00:00:31.16]
Watts how she is with the service
[00:00:37.05]

[00:00:34.10]
and partnership specialist Santa course
[00:00:41.14]

[00:00:37.05]
or that's one for Lawrence Lessig
[00:00:41.14]

[00:00:46.10]
the project manager
[00:00:49.12]

[00:00:52.00]
stromae my girl she's a director
[00:00:57.01]

[00:01:03.17]
she's visited services
[00:01:08.18]

[00:01:22.08]
[Applause]
[00:01:25.11]

[00:01:26.08]
thank you all for being here on a very
[00:01:31.17]

[00:01:29.03]
rainy morning we appreciate you coming
[00:01:36.22]

[00:01:31.17]
out so our goal for today in keeping
[00:01:40.15]

[00:01:36.22]
with the demystifying title of this
[00:01:43.02]

[00:01:40.15]
panel series is to help you better
[00:01:45.23]

[00:01:43.02]
understand the similarities and also
[00:01:48.21]

[00:01:45.23]
differences between the office of campus
[00:01:50.17]

[00:01:48.21]
sustainability the center for serve
[00:01:52.20]

[00:01:50.17]
learners sustained and the office of
[00:01:56.09]

[00:01:52.20]
civic engagement our work intersects in
[00:01:58.18]

[00:01:56.09]
many many ways and we all offer
[00:02:01.00]

[00:01:58.18]
opportunities for faculty and their
[00:02:03.20]

[00:02:01.00]
students on campus and our goal today is
[00:02:05.11]

[00:02:03.20]
to help you understand a little bit
[00:02:08.10]

[00:02:05.11]
better what opportunities might make
[00:02:11.03]

[00:02:08.10]
sense for you in terms of where to plug
[00:02:14.22]

[00:02:11.03]
in so I'm going to begin with an
[00:02:17.20]

[00:02:14.22]
overview of serve learn system and then
[00:02:20.11]

[00:02:17.20]
Sarah Stroh maker is going to provide an
[00:02:21.11]

[00:02:20.11]
over
[00:02:24.02]

[00:02:21.11]
civic engagement and followed by Sara
[00:02:26.20]

[00:02:24.02]
Neville will talk about office of campus
[00:02:29.16]

[00:02:26.20]
sustainability and then Michael and Lily
[00:02:32.00]

[00:02:29.16]
will share some of their experiences
[00:02:34.23]

[00:02:32.00]
with these three offices and we felt in
[00:02:38.06]

[00:02:34.23]
time for plenty of Q&A but if along the
[00:02:42.00]

[00:02:38.06]
way at any point you have a clarifying
[00:02:44.18]

[00:02:42.00]
question to ask please also feel free to
[00:02:47.13]

[00:02:44.18]
raise your hand and stop us at any point
[00:02:52.14]

[00:02:47.13]
so serve learn sustain it's part of
[00:02:55.06]

[00:02:52.14]
undergraduate education and that's
[00:02:58.19]

[00:02:55.06]
because Searle art system is the QEP or
[00:03:01.11]

[00:02:58.19]
the quality enhancement plan for Georgia
[00:03:03.20]

[00:03:01.11]
Tech and we're coming to the end of that
[00:03:08.07]

[00:03:03.20]
five year cycle so since 2015
[00:03:11.08]

[00:03:08.07]
sir Clark System has been housed within
[00:03:13.10]

[00:03:11.08]
the office of undergraduate education
[00:03:16.12]

[00:03:13.10]
with the mission of offering students
[00:03:18.22]

[00:03:16.12]
and all six colleges at Georgia Tech
[00:03:21.13]

[00:03:18.22]
with opportunities both within the
[00:03:23.22]

[00:03:21.13]
classroom and outside the classroom to
[00:03:29.10]

[00:03:23.22]
partner with community members around
[00:03:29.10]

[00:03:30.04]
and our ultimate goal is that through SL
[00:03:35.19]

[00:03:33.14]
as students will learn to use the
[00:03:37.02]

[00:03:35.19]
knowledge and skills that they're
[00:03:39.13]

[00:03:37.02]
gaining here at Georgia to advance
[00:03:41.22]

[00:03:39.13]
community sustainability both while
[00:03:44.02]

[00:03:41.22]
they're here and in their future
[00:03:45.06]

[00:03:44.02]
endeavors
[00:03:48.18]

[00:03:45.06]
so how do we do that in three primary
[00:03:52.01]

[00:03:48.18]
ways one is first we directly educate
[00:03:56.10]

[00:03:52.01]
students so we created a series of core
[00:03:59.14]

[00:03:56.10]
or foundational courses we also next
[00:04:01.18]

[00:03:59.14]
year we'll have our first set of mini
[00:04:04.22]

[00:04:01.18]
master courses and we also offer
[00:04:07.10]

[00:04:04.22]
co-curricular courses that we call buzz
[00:04:10.17]

[00:04:07.10]
courses so short term courses on
[00:04:14.23]

[00:04:10.17]
particular topics in sustainability
[00:04:17.19]

[00:04:14.23]
those have included in the past citizen
[00:04:21.21]

[00:04:17.19]
science and social innovation at the
[00:04:24.02]

[00:04:21.21]
same time we also work with faculty
[00:04:26.08]

[00:04:24.02]
throughout the Institute
[00:04:29.04]

[00:04:26.08]
again across all six colleges to help
[00:04:31.23]

[00:04:29.04]
them integrate sustainability concepts
[00:04:35.03]

[00:04:31.23]
into existing courses and identify
[00:04:37.11]

[00:04:35.03]
community partners with whom they can
[00:04:40.08]

[00:04:37.11]
connect the course material and offer
[00:04:43.14]

[00:04:40.08]
students opportunities to engage with
[00:04:45.10]

[00:04:43.14]
community partners and build those
[00:04:48.17]

[00:04:45.10]
skills and then finally we also
[00:04:51.09]

[00:04:48.17]
facilitate that work of the faculty
[00:04:54.10]

[00:04:51.09]
connecting their courses by establishing
[00:04:56.20]

[00:04:54.10]
those community partnerships ourselves
[00:04:59.21]

[00:04:56.20]
and working to build relationships that
[00:05:05.15]

[00:04:59.21]
over time will enable faculty to do
[00:05:09.02]

[00:05:05.15]
everything from a small piece of
[00:05:11.13]

[00:05:09.02]
community engagement like inviting a
[00:05:15.07]

[00:05:11.13]
guest speaker to a class to designing an
[00:05:17.23]

[00:05:15.07]
entire course that has a community
[00:05:20.08]

[00:05:17.23]
partnership component like semester in
[00:05:20.22]

[00:05:20.08]
the city
[00:05:23.03]

[00:05:20.22]
in the school of history and sociology
[00:05:26.15]

[00:05:23.03]
so those are the three primary ways that
[00:05:30.12]

[00:05:26.15]
we operate and to give you a little more
[00:05:33.08]

[00:05:30.12]
detail about how we engage faculty and
[00:05:35.22]

[00:05:33.08]
how we support faculty we have a number
[00:05:38.21]

[00:05:35.22]
of programs for doing that so more than
[00:05:42.09]

[00:05:38.21]
150 courses at Georgia Tech are formally
[00:05:45.12]

[00:05:42.09]
affiliated with serve learn sustain so
[00:05:47.12]

[00:05:45.12]
that means that the faculty member for
[00:05:49.18]

[00:05:47.12]
that class has identified one of our
[00:05:52.12]

[00:05:49.18]
learning objectives and sustainability
[00:05:54.20]

[00:05:52.12]
that closely aligns with their course
[00:05:58.04]

[00:05:54.20]
and they've worked with us to identify
[00:06:01.19]

[00:05:58.04]
ways to strengthen that component of the
[00:06:04.02]

[00:06:01.19]
course and also to bring in a community
[00:06:07.09]

[00:06:04.02]
partnership element as I mentioned
[00:06:10.02]

[00:06:07.09]
briefly before that includes capstone
[00:06:13.03]

[00:06:10.02]
courses where students design a
[00:06:16.05]

[00:06:13.03]
semester-long project that has a closed
[00:06:19.20]

[00:06:16.05]
out sls component and in addition to
[00:06:22.03]

[00:06:19.20]
helping identify the community partners
[00:06:25.03]

[00:06:22.03]
for capstone projects we also identify a
[00:06:28.00]

[00:06:25.03]
subject matter expert that makes it
[00:06:30.17]

[00:06:28.00]
easier for a team say in mechanical
[00:06:34.11]

[00:06:30.17]
engineering our isye to integrate
[00:06:37.09]

[00:06:34.11]
something like a carbon footprint
[00:06:40.12]

[00:06:37.09]
calculation into their capstone by
[00:06:42.03]

[00:06:40.12]
adding that sub
[00:06:45.06]

[00:06:42.03]
expert to their team we also have an
[00:06:48.05]

[00:06:45.06]
online teaching toolkit with more than
[00:06:51.04]

[00:06:48.05]
50 teaching tools that faculty can use
[00:06:54.03]

[00:06:51.04]
to to enhance the sustainability
[00:06:57.06]

[00:06:54.03]
teaching in their course and then for
[00:07:00.05]

[00:06:57.06]
faculty interested in a deeper dive we
[00:07:03.01]

[00:07:00.05]
have a program called link courses which
[00:07:07.05]

[00:07:03.01]
is a strategy for enhancing
[00:07:09.23]

[00:07:07.05]
cross-disciplinary collaboration around
[00:07:13.15]

[00:07:09.23]
sustainability themes so in summer we
[00:07:16.00]

[00:07:13.15]
lead a series of linked courses during
[00:07:18.21]

[00:07:16.00]
the Ignite summer program series around
[00:07:20.23]

[00:07:18.21]
equitable and sustainable development
[00:07:24.07]

[00:07:20.23]
usually in fall we have linked courses
[00:07:27.16]

[00:07:24.07]
across disciplines and green
[00:07:30.09]

[00:07:27.16]
infrastructure and water infrastructure
[00:07:32.11]

[00:07:30.09]
and citizen science and then usually in
[00:07:35.04]

[00:07:32.11]
spring we have linked courses focused on
[00:07:39.01]

[00:07:35.04]
community health and in addition to
[00:07:42.17]

[00:07:39.01]
those opportunities to engage faculty
[00:07:44.06]

[00:07:42.17]
and sustainability
[00:07:47.10]

[00:07:44.06]
community partnerships we also support a
[00:07:49.20]

[00:07:47.10]
formal miner the sustainable cities
[00:07:52.06]

[00:07:49.20]
miner in the School of City and regional
[00:07:56.07]

[00:07:52.06]
planning we have a more flexible option
[00:07:58.04]

[00:07:56.07]
for students you might find it difficult
[00:08:00.02]

[00:07:58.04]
to incorporate a miner
[00:08:02.13]

[00:08:00.02]
so the innovating for social impact
[00:08:05.03]

[00:08:02.13]
program is for both undergraduate and
[00:08:08.06]

[00:08:05.03]
graduate students interested in social
[00:08:10.13]

[00:08:08.06]
entrepreneurship and they can fulfill
[00:08:13.09]

[00:08:10.13]
that requirement with a combination of
[00:08:15.22]

[00:08:13.09]
both curricular and co-curricular
[00:08:19.06]

[00:08:15.22]
experiences including our buzz course
[00:08:21.03]

[00:08:19.06]
including the end of the Social
[00:08:24.04]

[00:08:21.03]
Innovation Challenge program and also
[00:08:27.15]

[00:08:24.04]
including summer abroad opportunities so
[00:08:29.22]

[00:08:27.15]
students who have really packed fall and
[00:08:32.13]

[00:08:29.22]
spring semesters have found that helpful
[00:08:35.13]

[00:08:32.13]
we also offer a summer internship
[00:08:39.01]

[00:08:35.13]
program with our community partners and
[00:08:42.15]

[00:08:39.01]
we find that so students can afford to
[00:08:46.14]

[00:08:42.15]
spend a full 10-week period working
[00:08:49.06]

[00:08:46.14]
full-time with a community partner and
[00:08:51.17]

[00:08:49.06]
we include as part of that internship
[00:08:56.03]

[00:08:51.17]
program pre experience and seminars
[00:08:59.06]

[00:08:56.03]
during the process of the internship so
[00:09:00.16]

[00:08:59.06]
students gain
[00:09:03.03]

[00:09:00.16]
and skills about how to work effectively
[00:09:07.03]

[00:09:03.03]
with community partners the link courses
[00:09:09.13]

[00:09:07.03]
I already spoke about in addition to
[00:09:12.09]

[00:09:09.13]
that we also offer events and workshops
[00:09:15.04]

[00:09:12.09]
throughout the year related to community
[00:09:17.14]

[00:09:15.04]
partnerships and sustainability and I'll
[00:09:18.21]

[00:09:17.14]
speak to the RCE
[00:09:22.03]

[00:09:18.21]
Greater Atlanta Greater Atlanta in just
[00:09:25.07]

[00:09:22.03]
a moment but first I wanted to give you
[00:09:28.05]

[00:09:25.07]
a sense of what kinds of Community
[00:09:31.07]

[00:09:28.05]
Partners SLS how this faculty work with
[00:09:33.21]

[00:09:31.07]
because civic engagement also works very
[00:09:36.03]

[00:09:33.21]
closely with community partners as this
[00:09:39.06]

[00:09:36.03]
campus sustainability so these are a
[00:09:42.14]

[00:09:39.06]
sampling of some of our closest what we
[00:09:46.07]

[00:09:42.14]
call signature partners who have worked
[00:09:48.19]

[00:09:46.07]
with a number of courses all of them
[00:09:52.23]

[00:09:48.19]
have also supported summer interns and
[00:09:55.09]

[00:09:52.23]
most of these organizations also
[00:09:58.16]

[00:09:55.09]
participate in the governance of SLS who
[00:10:00.23]

[00:09:58.16]
are a partner Advisory Council and
[00:10:03.10]

[00:10:00.23]
listed on the left there are the
[00:10:06.03]

[00:10:03.10]
partnership principles that guide how we
[00:10:08.21]

[00:10:06.03]
work with communities and also the
[00:10:11.17]

[00:10:08.21]
teaching we do with students about how
[00:10:13.09]

[00:10:11.17]
they can work most of
[00:10:17.01]

[00:10:13.09]
with partners using an assets based as
[00:10:19.14]

[00:10:17.01]
opposed to a deficits based approach
[00:10:23.01]

[00:10:19.14]
helping community members identify what
[00:10:25.05]

[00:10:23.01]
skills and resources they already have
[00:10:29.12]

[00:10:25.05]
in the community and challenging that
[00:10:32.06]

[00:10:29.12]
perspective that our students often
[00:10:35.04]

[00:10:32.06]
bring to service-learning and community
[00:10:38.01]

[00:10:35.04]
engagement that they have expertise that
[00:10:40.07]

[00:10:38.01]
they want to share which is very
[00:10:43.02]

[00:10:40.07]
well-intentioned but we encourage them
[00:10:47.01]

[00:10:43.02]
to pursue those relationships as more of
[00:10:50.12]

[00:10:47.01]
a partnership than a one-way transfer of
[00:10:53.06]

[00:10:50.12]
expertise from them to a community
[00:10:58.19]

[00:10:53.06]
partner and we do all of this to support
[00:11:01.07]

[00:10:58.19]
student progress that were the four
[00:11:04.23]

[00:11:01.07]
Institute wide learning objectives that
[00:11:07.23]

[00:11:04.23]
were responsible for through the QEP to
[00:11:10.20]

[00:11:07.23]
identify relationships among ecological
[00:11:13.16]

[00:11:10.20]
social and economic systems to
[00:11:16.02]

[00:11:13.16]
demonstrate the skills needed to work
[00:11:17.18]

[00:11:16.02]
effectively in different types of
[00:11:21.08]

[00:11:17.18]
communities to evaluate how various
[00:11:22.09]

[00:11:21.08]
kinds of
[00:11:24.23]

[00:11:22.09]
impact the sustainability of communities
[00:11:28.13]

[00:11:24.23]
and finally to describe how their own
[00:11:31.17]

[00:11:28.13]
discipline can contribute to making
[00:11:35.11]

[00:11:31.17]
communities more sustainable the last
[00:11:37.14]

[00:11:35.11]
thing I wanted to mention is one way
[00:11:41.05]

[00:11:37.14]
that SLS supports student and faculty
[00:11:44.11]

[00:11:41.05]
engagement and sustainability beyond our
[00:11:49.13]

[00:11:44.11]
campus so in 2017 Georgia Tech's
[00:11:52.06]

[00:11:49.13]
SLS together with Emory and Spelman
[00:11:55.05]

[00:11:52.06]
College created the RCE Greater Atlanta
[00:11:58.21]

[00:11:55.05]
which RC e stands for regional center of
[00:12:01.14]

[00:11:58.21]
expertise on the United Nations
[00:12:03.20]

[00:12:01.14]
sustainable development goals and
[00:12:06.00]

[00:12:03.20]
through that RCE
[00:12:09.09]

[00:12:06.00]
we're building a network of expertise
[00:12:12.02]

[00:12:09.09]
around those sustainable development
[00:12:15.13]

[00:12:12.02]
goals and identifying ways that folks in
[00:12:18.14]

[00:12:15.13]
higher education our community partners
[00:12:20.18]

[00:12:18.14]
our government partners our business
[00:12:24.03]

[00:12:20.18]
partners and also youth at the college
[00:12:26.13]

[00:12:24.03]
and the high school level can work
[00:12:29.17]

[00:12:26.13]
together in ways that will leverage all
[00:12:32.06]

[00:12:29.17]
of our effectiveness toward advancing
[00:12:35.21]

[00:12:32.06]
education for sustainable development
[00:12:38.18]

[00:12:35.21]
so our goal is to create really a
[00:12:41.21]

[00:12:38.18]
community of practice beyond Georgia
[00:12:44.12]

[00:12:41.21]
Tech throughout metro Atlanta where
[00:12:46.19]

[00:12:44.12]
we're all advancing the kinds of goals
[00:12:49.06]

[00:12:46.19]
that SLS is working on here at Georgia
[00:12:53.19]

[00:12:49.06]
Tech thank you very much and with that
[00:12:56.03]

[00:12:53.19]
I'm going to hand this over to Sarah
[00:12:59.04]

[00:12:56.03]
Mayer to talk about civic engagement
[00:13:01.16]

[00:12:59.04]
awesome well thank you again my name is
[00:13:03.20]

[00:13:01.16]
Sarah Berger and the director of civic
[00:13:06.04]

[00:13:03.20]
engagement and so yeah I'm just gonna
[00:13:08.12]

[00:13:06.04]
provide a little bit of an overview so
[00:13:10.12]

[00:13:08.12]
civic engagement is a department within
[00:13:13.08]

[00:13:10.12]
the Division of Student Life and my
[00:13:15.17]

[00:13:13.08]
office is that in these centers for
[00:13:19.03]

[00:13:15.17]
student engagement so the work that I do
[00:13:22.05]

[00:13:19.03]
and that civic engagement does is rooted
[00:13:25.03]

[00:13:22.05]
deeply in student experience not just in
[00:13:27.10]

[00:13:25.03]
providing experiences for students to
[00:13:31.10]

[00:13:27.10]
participate in but largely probably 90%
[00:13:34.17]

[00:13:31.10]
or more of the output from civic
[00:13:36.18]

[00:13:34.17]
engagement is student developed
[00:13:39.22]

[00:13:36.18]
student-led student facilitated and my
[00:13:42.22]

[00:13:39.22]
role within civic engagement is largely
[00:13:45.02]

[00:13:42.22]
advisory I'm advising different
[00:13:47.17]

[00:13:45.02]
organizations I'm supporting and sort of
[00:13:49.23]

[00:13:47.17]
encouraging programmatic efforts that
[00:13:53.07]

[00:13:49.23]
are occurring but it's not me in my own
[00:13:55.07]

[00:13:53.07]
role producing all of the things that
[00:13:57.03]

[00:13:55.07]
I've talked about so just want to make
[00:13:59.07]

[00:13:57.03]
that really clear the question is often
[00:14:00.22]

[00:13:59.07]
asked is what we're doing serving
[00:14:02.15]

[00:14:00.22]
students there's a lot of different ways
[00:14:04.14]

[00:14:02.15]
that civic engagement and community
[00:14:08.19]

[00:14:04.14]
service can show up and my focus and the
[00:14:12.03]

[00:14:08.19]
way I decided how I put my energy is is
[00:14:13.18]

[00:14:12.03]
this affecting students
[00:14:15.11]

[00:14:13.18]
connected to students is an impact
[00:14:17.09]

[00:14:15.11]
experience is it for the students so
[00:14:19.08]

[00:14:17.09]
every single day that's what I'm
[00:14:22.18]

[00:14:19.08]
thinking without so a lot of people
[00:14:25.02]

[00:14:22.18]
don't recognize that civic engagement is
[00:14:27.14]

[00:14:25.02]
a department within a student life but
[00:14:30.17]

[00:14:27.14]
they probably know things that occur
[00:14:33.10]

[00:14:30.17]
from this office so these are the three
[00:14:35.23]

[00:14:33.10]
big organizations or programs that stem
[00:14:38.14]

[00:14:35.23]
from civic engagement within student
[00:14:40.21]

[00:14:38.14]
life the alternative service breaks is
[00:14:42.13]

[00:14:40.21]
the first that I'll talk about this is a
[00:14:45.08]

[00:14:42.13]
student organization that is developing
[00:14:48.12]

[00:14:45.08]
longer service trip experiences that are
[00:14:50.23]

[00:14:48.12]
immersive so we're traveling and doing
[00:14:53.18]

[00:14:50.23]
both domestic and international service
[00:14:56.01]

[00:14:53.18]
experiences with community partners and
[00:14:58.15]

[00:14:56.01]
where we're staying on-site or near site
[00:15:00.19]

[00:14:58.15]
we're really creating a connected
[00:15:02.07]

[00:15:00.19]
experience for the students who are
[00:15:05.21]

[00:15:02.07]
participating ase also invites faculty
[00:15:09.20]

[00:15:05.21]
and staff advisors to serve on trips and
[00:15:12.12]

[00:15:09.20]
we do trips during all of the major
[00:15:15.04]

[00:15:12.12]
breaks so fall winter spring and then
[00:15:15.17]

[00:15:15.04]
wandering
[00:15:18.12]

[00:15:15.17]
summer as well and so yeah this is
[00:15:19.23]

[00:15:18.12]
really cool and we'll talk about this a
[00:15:21.14]

[00:15:19.23]
little bit later so I won't dig too much
[00:15:24.18]

[00:15:21.14]
into it but and a really great
[00:15:26.15]

[00:15:24.18]
opportunity for a lot of people to get
[00:15:28.19]

[00:15:26.15]
connected to service around the world
[00:15:31.08]

[00:15:28.19]
truly jump start is the next I'll talk
[00:15:34.05]

[00:15:31.08]
about jump start is a long term service
[00:15:37.03]

[00:15:34.05]
experience on campus and this is rooted
[00:15:40.18]

[00:15:37.03]
in a national program so jump start has
[00:15:43.16]

[00:15:40.18]
organizations and volunteer cords all
[00:15:46.07]

[00:15:43.16]
over the country with the goal of
[00:15:49.23]

[00:15:46.07]
entering into early education spaces
[00:15:53.21]

[00:15:49.23]
preschools primarily in pre-k classrooms
[00:15:56.08]

[00:15:53.21]
and volunteers go and work on literacy
[00:15:59.05]

[00:15:56.08]
they work on just like social skills
[00:16:01.03]

[00:15:59.05]
some of those types of things
[00:16:03.05]

[00:16:01.03]
Jump Start is unique in that when
[00:16:05.08]

[00:16:03.05]
volunteers sign up for this experience
[00:16:07.12]

[00:16:05.08]
it is a year-long commitment as much as
[00:16:09.21]

[00:16:07.12]
they can commit to that and for
[00:16:12.20]

[00:16:09.21]
volunteers who opt into it if they serve
[00:16:15.06]

[00:16:12.20]
300 hours over the course of the year
[00:16:18.02]

[00:16:15.06]
they are eligible through AmeriCorps to
[00:16:21.02]

[00:16:18.02]
receive educational scholarship and the
[00:16:22.06]

[00:16:21.02]
other thing that's unique is that
[00:16:24.02]

[00:16:22.06]
students can participate in jumpstart
[00:16:26.13]

[00:16:24.02]
truly as volunteers but there's also a
[00:16:28.17]

[00:16:26.13]
partnership with federal work-study and
[00:16:30.10]

[00:16:28.17]
so we have a number of students who are
[00:16:32.18]

[00:16:30.10]
volunteers through jumpstart who are
[00:16:34.18]

[00:16:32.18]
also able to take advantage of their
[00:16:36.23]

[00:16:34.18]
financial aid packages and get paid
[00:16:40.05]

[00:16:36.23]
you're part of that experience so it's a
[00:16:41.23]

[00:16:40.05]
really unique way for people to be
[00:16:44.11]

[00:16:41.23]
connected into the study they're going
[00:16:47.03]

[00:16:44.11]
into the same spaces week after week to
[00:16:49.16]

[00:16:47.03]
engage into the gene and connecting with
[00:16:50.14]

[00:16:49.16]
kids in the air
[00:16:52.12]

[00:16:50.14]
and just supporting literacy efforts
[00:16:55.04]

[00:16:52.12]
within Atlanta and then move is the
[00:16:57.11]

[00:16:55.04]
other organization that I'll speak about
[00:17:00.22]

[00:16:57.11]
and move in sort of the umbrella
[00:17:03.19]

[00:17:00.22]
volunteer organization on campus they
[00:17:06.09]

[00:17:03.19]
are most focused on direct service
[00:17:09.13]

[00:17:06.09]
experiences for campus and they function
[00:17:12.05]

[00:17:09.13]
under a committee structure so I wrote
[00:17:13.17]

[00:17:12.05]
them down to make sure I didn't miss any
[00:17:16.21]

[00:17:13.17]
and so they have animal welfare hunger
[00:17:19.01]

[00:17:16.21]
and homelessness medical assistance stem
[00:17:20.23]

[00:17:19.01]
and education sustainability and then
[00:17:22.22]

[00:17:20.23]
the special projects committee and these
[00:17:24.08]

[00:17:22.22]
are made up of students who are
[00:17:27.06]

[00:17:24.08]
interested in those topics and they are
[00:17:30.02]

[00:17:27.06]
doing approximately monthly programming
[00:17:32.18]

[00:17:30.02]
either going into the community and
[00:17:34.14]

[00:17:32.18]
partnering with different community
[00:17:36.11]

[00:17:34.14]
partners they might be doing tabling to
[00:17:38.14]

[00:17:36.11]
raise awareness about issues connected
[00:17:40.22]

[00:17:38.14]
to any of those themes and just really
[00:17:42.20]

[00:17:40.22]
working on large scale initiatives to
[00:17:44.18]

[00:17:42.20]
make sure that people have access to
[00:17:47.04]

[00:17:44.18]
community service experiences where it
[00:17:49.01]

[00:17:47.04]
might be like I know on this Saturday
[00:17:51.03]

[00:17:49.01]
I'm free and move is doing something so
[00:17:52.19]

[00:17:51.03]
let me go and participate and there's
[00:17:55.19]

[00:17:52.19]
not a commitment for but those who opt
[00:17:58.12]

[00:17:55.19]
in to have to stay connected for a long
[00:18:01.00]

[00:17:58.12]
term volunteer experience if they can't
[00:18:04.08]

[00:18:01.00]
or if they don't want to or whatever
[00:18:06.18]

[00:18:04.08]
there are few other things that stem
[00:18:08.13]

[00:18:06.18]
from civic engagement that aren't
[00:18:10.10]

[00:18:08.13]
necessarily connected
[00:18:12.21]

[00:18:10.10]
organizations they might be but there
[00:18:14.13]

[00:18:12.21]
are large-scale events that we would
[00:18:16.06]

[00:18:14.13]
consider kind of those key events or
[00:18:19.02]

[00:18:16.06]
primary events so into the streets is
[00:18:23.01]

[00:18:19.02]
our fall and day of service event and
[00:18:24.17]

[00:18:23.01]
this is primarily geared towards
[00:18:26.09]

[00:18:24.17]
first-year students to allow them a
[00:18:29.13]

[00:18:26.09]
chance to get instantly uh explore what
[00:18:31.08]

[00:18:29.13]
it means to be doing service while also
[00:18:34.04]

[00:18:31.08]
being a Georgia Tech students and learn
[00:18:37.04]

[00:18:34.04]
from some student leaders who are really
[00:18:38.22]

[00:18:37.04]
connected to service to just understand
[00:18:40.00]

[00:18:38.22]
what their options might be
[00:18:43.07]

[00:18:40.00]
and so this has been we're coming up on
[00:18:45.09]

[00:18:43.07]
what would be our 10th annual into the
[00:18:48.06]

[00:18:45.09]
streets day of service event in the fall
[00:18:50.16]

[00:18:48.06]
MLK Day of Service is another
[00:18:52.17]

[00:18:50.16]
large-scale day of service event that
[00:18:55.00]

[00:18:52.17]
gets organized as well and this is part
[00:18:59.13]

[00:18:55.00]
of a larger programming calendar around
[00:19:03.20]

[00:18:59.13]
MLK celebration on campus and this is
[00:19:05.12]

[00:19:03.20]
where we've just finished our 10th
[00:19:08.02]

[00:19:05.12]
annual MLK Day of Service as well and
[00:19:10.09]

[00:19:08.02]
then community partner connections our
[00:19:12.05]

[00:19:10.09]
community partners equalling volunteers
[00:19:13.23]

[00:19:12.05]
showcasing we called it different things
[00:19:17.05]

[00:19:13.23]
but we at least once per year bring
[00:19:20.05]

[00:19:17.05]
several community partners to campus a
[00:19:22.03]

[00:19:20.05]
lot of the chance to table to connect
[00:19:23.21]

[00:19:22.03]
with students to connect with people who
[00:19:25.13]

[00:19:23.21]
might be organising community service
[00:19:27.15]

[00:19:25.13]
initiatives or want to get connected on
[00:19:30.05]

[00:19:27.15]
an individual level so we did one in the
[00:19:32.21]

[00:19:30.05]
fall and then move the organization is
[00:19:35.19]

[00:19:32.21]
also organizing a large one for the end
[00:19:37.08]

[00:19:35.19]
of February as well so we're really
[00:19:39.15]

[00:19:37.08]
excited about that the other thing I did
[00:19:40.06]

[00:19:39.15]
put in
[00:19:42.17]

[00:19:40.06]
image up here for but that I want to
[00:19:45.15]

[00:19:42.17]
speak to our some funding sources that
[00:19:48.15]

[00:19:45.15]
civic engagement helps to oversee for
[00:19:51.06]

[00:19:48.15]
students who are wanting to do some sort
[00:19:52.23]

[00:19:51.06]
of community service experience
[00:19:55.02]

[00:19:52.23]
initiative they want to put on an event
[00:19:56.22]

[00:19:55.02]
but they don't have access to the funds
[00:19:58.13]

[00:19:56.22]
that they need to make that happen so
[00:20:01.21]

[00:19:58.13]
move manages a service grant application
[00:20:05.21]

[00:20:01.21]
based where students either as them as
[00:20:07.14]

[00:20:05.21]
individuals if it makes sense or on
[00:20:09.08]

[00:20:07.14]
behalf of organizations and request
[00:20:11.07]

[00:20:09.08]
money and then there's also the class of
[00:20:14.15]

[00:20:11.07]
1981 public service endowment fund which
[00:20:17.10]

[00:20:14.15]
we also oversee so those two sources
[00:20:20.01]

[00:20:17.10]
average out to about we have access to
[00:20:22.05]

[00:20:20.01]
about $10,000 right now worth of funding
[00:20:24.23]

[00:20:22.05]
that we can provide to community service
[00:20:31.13]

[00:20:24.23]
oriented programming and shows so in all
[00:20:33.19]

[00:20:31.13]
the things that we do no matter what
[00:20:36.07]

[00:20:33.19]
organization it is or program it is I
[00:20:38.07]

[00:20:36.07]
just wanted to share some of the values
[00:20:41.02]

[00:20:38.07]
and practices that we hold that guide
[00:20:42.23]

[00:20:41.02]
how we make decisions and how we make
[00:20:45.09]

[00:20:42.23]
connections some of the language up here
[00:20:46.16]

[00:20:45.09]
you see we've actually already talked
[00:20:49.11]

[00:20:46.16]
about there's a lot of fundamental sort
[00:20:52.08]

[00:20:49.11]
of believe in value in service work and
[00:20:53.23]

[00:20:52.08]
community service work and understanding
[00:20:55.09]

[00:20:53.23]
how to approach it in a way that's
[00:20:57.02]

[00:20:55.09]
meaningful and impactful and not
[00:20:59.04]

[00:20:57.02]
damaging to the communities that we
[00:21:01.00]

[00:20:59.04]
would be interest insuring and serving
[00:21:02.19]

[00:21:01.00]
so I won't go over all of these
[00:21:05.18]

[00:21:02.19]
explicitly but I'll highlight a few of
[00:21:06.15]

[00:21:05.18]
the things that I
[00:21:09.17]

[00:21:06.15]
really are truly foundational for us and
[00:21:12.02]

[00:21:09.17]
within civic engagement we acknowledge
[00:21:13.15]

[00:21:12.02]
that there's a spectrum of social change
[00:21:15.06]

[00:21:13.15]
so when we think about community service
[00:21:17.22]

[00:21:15.06]
we often think of I need to go to a
[00:21:21.07]

[00:21:17.22]
space and hands-on do service for that
[00:21:23.22]

[00:21:21.07]
space otherwise it might not be service
[00:21:25.09]

[00:21:23.22]
and what we understand and acknowledge
[00:21:27.01]

[00:21:25.09]
is that communities need different
[00:21:28.19]

[00:21:27.01]
things in different ways and there are
[00:21:32.01]

[00:21:28.19]
many different opportunities to to serve
[00:21:33.18]

[00:21:32.01]
and so drug service is a part of that
[00:21:36.04]

[00:21:33.18]
philanthropy can be a piece of that
[00:21:39.16]

[00:21:36.04]
advocacy is also one where you are sort
[00:21:41.05]

[00:21:39.16]
of learning and understanding what
[00:21:43.04]

[00:21:41.05]
communities might need and using your
[00:21:47.16]

[00:21:43.04]
perhaps social capital or influence or
[00:21:50.10]

[00:21:47.16]
just access to be able to educate others
[00:21:52.11]

[00:21:50.10]
and encourage others to consider what
[00:21:54.16]

[00:21:52.11]
those needs might be or what social
[00:21:56.15]

[00:21:54.16]
issues might be affecting communities
[00:21:58.15]

[00:21:56.15]
community development and community
[00:22:01.12]

[00:21:58.15]
organizing are perhaps less known as
[00:22:03.06]

[00:22:01.12]
part of a service experience but are
[00:22:05.06]

[00:22:03.06]
also incredibly important in helping
[00:22:07.02]

[00:22:05.06]
communities grow and thrive as those
[00:22:10.08]

[00:22:07.02]
discussed and and I'll reiterate because
[00:22:12.06]

[00:22:10.08]
it is truly that important fulfilling
[00:22:13.22]

[00:22:12.06]
community needs as defined by the
[00:22:18.03]

[00:22:13.22]
community is essential it is so true
[00:22:20.21]

[00:22:18.03]
that we often think like wow I know what
[00:22:23.17]

[00:22:20.21]
I can bring to this community and I want
[00:22:25.19]

[00:22:23.17]
to help them I want to be able to make
[00:22:28.05]

[00:22:25.19]
something better I want to create the
[00:22:30.10]

[00:22:28.05]
thing that's going to make this space
[00:22:34.22]

[00:22:30.10]
stronger but that is often done without
[00:22:36.22]

[00:22:34.22]
understanding what communities need what
[00:22:39.05]

[00:22:36.22]
they already have what they really want
[00:22:40.20]

[00:22:39.05]
within their community
[00:22:42.16]

[00:22:40.20]
and then adding to that so when we're
[00:22:44.16]

[00:22:42.16]
thinking about an ASP trip or when we're
[00:22:46.10]

[00:22:44.16]
thinking about a volunteer experience or
[00:22:48.17]

[00:22:46.10]
or even forming a day of service and
[00:22:50.23]

[00:22:48.17]
we're always letting our community
[00:22:52.19]

[00:22:50.23]
partners guide the work that is going to
[00:22:54.08]

[00:22:52.19]
be happening we are not entering that
[00:22:56.03]

[00:22:54.08]
space think will help you but here's
[00:22:58.11]

[00:22:56.03]
what we're going to do is the opposite
[00:23:00.15]

[00:22:58.11]
every single time we're willing to bring
[00:23:03.22]

[00:23:00.15]
people how can we best support you and
[00:23:06.04]

[00:23:03.22]
serve you during the time that we're
[00:23:07.10]

[00:23:06.04]
going to be with you whether that's an
[00:23:12.05]

[00:23:07.10]
hour or five days so I wanted to do just
[00:23:14.20]

[00:23:12.05]
a quick snapshot of some of the things
[00:23:16.12]

[00:23:14.20]
that are connected to civic engagement
[00:23:18.23]

[00:23:16.12]
on campus and just time where we act so
[00:23:21.19]

[00:23:18.23]
far so including upcoming Spring Break
[00:23:25.02]

[00:23:21.19]
trips will have about 117 students and
[00:23:28.01]

[00:23:25.02]
14 staff advisors who have been a part
[00:23:30.09]

[00:23:28.01]
of AST experiences this year that
[00:23:32.01]

[00:23:30.09]
doesn't include our summer experience
[00:23:35.01]

[00:23:32.01]
over 8,000 dollars have been granted
[00:23:36.16]

[00:23:35.01]
toward community service initiatives
[00:23:39.04]

[00:23:36.16]
through those two grants or dominant
[00:23:41.12]

[00:23:39.04]
funds that I've shared and jump start
[00:23:43.15]

[00:23:41.12]
volunteers have grown exponentially was
[00:23:44.19]

[00:23:43.15]
checking in with our volunteer
[00:23:47.12]

[00:23:44.19]
coordinator who said last year they had
[00:23:50.06]

[00:23:47.12]
a consistent three volunteers this year
[00:23:52.21]

[00:23:50.06]
they have a consistent 26 volunteers who
[00:23:54.00]

[00:23:52.21]
are going into the
[00:23:57.16]

[00:23:54.00]
community and of those I didn't the
[00:24:00.00]

[00:23:57.16]
exact number but we have several who
[00:24:02.12]

[00:24:00.00]
have committed to the 300 service hours
[00:24:04.22]

[00:24:02.12]
who are interested in trying to seek
[00:24:06.03]

[00:24:04.22]
that educational grant through
[00:24:08.07]

[00:24:06.03]
AmeriCorps and the number that we have
[00:24:10.18]

[00:24:08.07]
is two hundred and thirteen percent
[00:24:12.22]

[00:24:10.18]
above the goals set by the JumpStart
[00:24:15.14]

[00:24:12.22]
program which is amazing in one year for
[00:24:17.15]

[00:24:15.14]
the growth of that program to happen in
[00:24:19.10]

[00:24:17.15]
the way that has is incredible and then
[00:24:21.01]

[00:24:19.10]
so far we have developed service
[00:24:34.15]

[00:24:21.01]
experiences community partners cities so
[00:24:38.10]

[00:24:34.15]
with that I will pass along to Sara the
[00:24:45.10]

[00:24:38.10]
next everyone my name is Darnell I work
[00:24:47.01]

[00:24:45.10]
in our office of campus sustainability
[00:24:49.18]

[00:24:47.01]
so before I get going Richard head of
[00:24:54.18]

[00:24:49.18]
your staff or faculty okay student okay
[00:24:59.00]

[00:24:54.18]
so I'm gonna separate a little bit um
[00:25:01.03]

[00:24:59.00]
I'm gonna go for a little bit about our
[00:25:02.18]

[00:25:01.03]
office but then also talk about the ways
[00:25:05.12]

[00:25:02.18]
in which both of you groups can actually
[00:25:08.13]

[00:25:05.12]
engage with our office
[00:25:08.13]

[00:25:08.18]
so at the highest level at Georgia Tech
[00:25:14.05]

[00:25:11.07]
its divided into two categories there's
[00:25:16.01]

[00:25:14.05]
a research component and then there's
[00:25:17.22]

[00:25:16.01]
admin and Finance and we sit directly
[00:25:19.22]

[00:25:17.22]
under admin and Finance which means our
[00:25:22.13]

[00:25:19.22]
office is really focused on Georgia Tech
[00:25:25.01]

[00:25:22.13]
proper the physical spaces and the
[00:25:27.12]

[00:25:25.01]
people who exist within them and so our
[00:25:30.14]

[00:25:27.12]
work is about integrating sustainability
[00:25:33.00]

[00:25:30.14]
practices into this course I'm sure
[00:25:35.19]

[00:25:33.00]
Georgia Tech and we're a small office
[00:25:38.17]

[00:25:35.19]
but we touch on a lot of departments
[00:25:41.16]

[00:25:38.17]
within this the Institute focusing
[00:25:44.06]

[00:25:41.16]
really on those things one providing
[00:25:46.13]

[00:25:44.06]
strategic guidance so a lot of what we
[00:25:49.05]

[00:25:46.13]
do is looking at big projects capital
[00:25:51.20]

[00:25:49.05]
projects like our Campus Center that's
[00:25:55.11]

[00:25:51.20]
coming online soon policy looking at our
[00:25:57.14]

[00:25:55.11]
RFPs that are going out and ensuring
[00:25:59.06]

[00:25:57.14]
that we have sustainability language
[00:26:01.06]

[00:25:59.06]
integrated within them it's really
[00:26:02.20]

[00:26:01.06]
looking at these things that have long
[00:26:06.05]

[00:26:02.20]
term impacts and making sure that that
[00:26:07.23]

[00:26:06.05]
they are reflecting the Institute's
[00:26:10.09]

[00:26:07.23]
values and reflecting our commitment to
[00:26:13.13]

[00:26:10.09]
sustainability within them we do also a
[00:26:15.22]

[00:26:13.13]
lot of implementation in practice and so
[00:26:18.09]

[00:26:15.22]
this is our piloting a lot of what we
[00:26:20.23]

[00:26:18.09]
see on this campus starts off in small
[00:26:24.15]

[00:26:20.23]
places and small offices one of the
[00:26:26.02]

[00:26:24.15]
biggest things that we've been piloting
[00:26:27.22]

[00:26:26.02]
around campus that you may all have
[00:26:30.09]

[00:26:27.22]
noticed is compost so if you go over to
[00:26:32.18]

[00:26:30.09]
our West Village dining hall you'll see
[00:26:35.11]

[00:26:32.18]
compost that actually started with a
[00:26:37.12]

[00:26:35.11]
small pilot project working with the
[00:26:40.07]

[00:26:37.12]
former president Peterson's wife valve
[00:26:43.09]

[00:26:40.07]
looking at one office building and now
[00:26:45.15]

[00:26:43.09]
as we move forward to opening up
[00:26:47.20]

[00:26:45.15]
that's going to be our biggest building
[00:26:50.03]

[00:26:47.20]
there's actually a full-scale compost so
[00:26:51.23]

[00:26:50.03]
it's it's demonstrating that we can do
[00:26:53.15]

[00:26:51.23]
things that we know to be effective as
[00:26:55.00]

[00:26:53.15]
it relates to sustainability of the
[00:26:57.02]

[00:26:55.00]
small scale and then advocating for
[00:27:00.03]

[00:26:57.02]
implementing them at a larger one we
[00:27:01.16]

[00:27:00.03]
also do a lot of campus and student
[00:27:02.19]

[00:27:01.16]
engagement which I'll talk about
[00:27:04.15]

[00:27:02.19]
obviously the focus of why you're here
[00:27:07.23]

[00:27:04.15]
today we handle sustainability reporting
[00:27:09.20]

[00:27:07.23]
for the Institute as a whole so we
[00:27:12.17]

[00:27:09.20]
report to Princeton Review right now
[00:27:15.03]

[00:27:12.17]
we're working on the Stars reporting
[00:27:17.07]

[00:27:15.03]
which is the gold star standard for
[00:27:18.12]

[00:27:17.07]
University of reporting and
[00:27:21.05]

[00:27:18.12]
sustainability and then also just
[00:27:23.22]

[00:27:21.05]
telling our story more more broadly we
[00:27:25.13]

[00:27:23.22]
have a lot of great stuff coming out of
[00:27:27.18]

[00:27:25.13]
Georgia Tech as it relates the ability
[00:27:30.00]

[00:27:27.18]
as it relates to other things and making
[00:27:31.13]

[00:27:30.00]
sure that these stories are getting out
[00:27:34.15]

[00:27:31.13]
there not only of the big things like
[00:27:36.02]

[00:27:34.15]
the condita building for innovative
[00:27:37.17]

[00:27:36.02]
sustainable design but also the small
[00:27:40.16]

[00:27:37.17]
things like the employee who took the
[00:27:42.20]

[00:27:40.16]
initiative to advance something in their
[00:27:45.02]

[00:27:42.20]
department these are all things that
[00:27:46.20]

[00:27:45.02]
really fundamentally shape public feel
[00:27:49.09]

[00:27:46.20]
about Georgia Tech and it's important to
[00:27:51.18]

[00:27:49.09]
us that we're getting them out into the
[00:27:55.14]

[00:27:51.18]
world so I talked about our focus being
[00:27:58.09]

[00:27:55.14]
on Georgia Tech proper but Georgia Tech
[00:28:01.01]

[00:27:58.09]
proper as a place as a physical space is
[00:28:04.06]

[00:28:01.01]
quite large but Allah comes were
[00:28:06.20]

[00:28:04.06]
essentially a small city which means we
[00:28:09.23]

[00:28:06.20]
use a lot of resources we have energy to
[00:28:12.04]

[00:28:09.23]
heat and cool our buildings energy to
[00:28:15.18]

[00:28:12.04]
power our research this is a huge one
[00:28:18.09]

[00:28:15.18]
Georgia Tech utilizes a lot of resources
[00:28:20.08]

[00:28:18.09]
and and believes that we should be
[00:28:22.08]

[00:28:20.08]
utilizing and storing those resources in
[00:28:24.13]

[00:28:22.08]
a sustainable way so I do like to just
[00:28:26.02]

[00:28:24.13]
give you some context of what we're
[00:28:27.18]

[00:28:26.02]
talking about just a building space
[00:28:28.14]

[00:28:27.18]
alone
[00:28:30.11]

[00:28:28.14]
million square feet of building space
[00:28:33.21]

[00:28:30.11]
this is a really significant area in
[00:28:35.17]

[00:28:33.21]
place that we're working in and trying
[00:28:37.18]

[00:28:35.17]
to figure out ways in which we can
[00:28:40.13]

[00:28:37.18]
reduce our impact on the environment yet
[00:28:42.21]

[00:28:40.13]
looking at reducing energy or water or
[00:28:44.20]

[00:28:42.21]
even you know more recently we've been
[00:28:47.00]

[00:28:44.20]
focusing on the human experience as well
[00:28:49.02]

[00:28:47.00]
we don't have time to go into it today
[00:28:50.14]

[00:28:49.02]
but the continued building has really
[00:28:53.00]

[00:28:50.14]
been focusing us to think about people
[00:28:55.04]

[00:28:53.00]
in this space is important component of
[00:28:57.03]

[00:28:55.04]
sustainability and how can we create
[00:28:59.14]

[00:28:57.03]
spaces that make us more productive that
[00:29:03.07]

[00:28:59.14]
make us happier all of these things are
[00:29:08.18]

[00:29:03.07]
kind of the core focus of the so let me
[00:29:10.02]

[00:29:08.18]
get into the how you guys can get
[00:29:11.19]

[00:29:10.02]
involved because I would love to see
[00:29:14.10]

[00:29:11.19]
your faces again I love you so I'm going
[00:29:15.23]

[00:29:14.10]
to start first with our staff and
[00:29:18.17]

[00:29:15.23]
faculty so really the main way to make
[00:29:20.22]

[00:29:18.17]
program to which we engage staff and
[00:29:22.08]

[00:29:20.22]
faculty right now is our work green
[00:29:26.00]

[00:29:22.08]
program so work green is a certificate
[00:29:28.13]

[00:29:26.00]
program of certification rather you go
[00:29:30.21]

[00:29:28.13]
online or your office or department
[00:29:33.20]

[00:29:30.21]
whatever scale you want to report and
[00:29:35.04]

[00:29:33.20]
you go through a simple checklist of
[00:29:36.20]

[00:29:35.04]
things that you do or don't do as it
[00:29:39.10]

[00:29:36.20]
relates to sustainability the idea of
[00:29:41.12]

[00:29:39.10]
being there that one you can reflect on
[00:29:43.18]

[00:29:41.12]
your own practices to hopefully you Nick
[00:29:46.07]

[00:29:43.18]
some information we do have resources
[00:29:48.18]

[00:29:46.07]
for what you could be doing to continue
[00:29:50.15]

[00:29:48.18]
to reduce your footprint your impact in
[00:29:52.21]

[00:29:50.15]
your office and then once you've
[00:29:54.23]

[00:29:52.21]
completed that certification online we
[00:29:56.23]

[00:29:54.23]
actually have a work green mini grant
[00:30:01.12]

[00:29:56.23]
program so we give offices up to $500 if
[00:30:02.15]

[00:30:01.12]
you can make a really good argument
[00:30:05.09]

[00:30:02.15]
we'll go even higher to implement
[00:30:07.10]

[00:30:05.09]
practices in your office and contribute
[00:30:08.10]

[00:30:07.10]
to the sustainability
[00:30:10.13]

[00:30:08.10]
Georgia Tech so what does that look like
[00:30:12.21]

[00:30:10.13]
we worked with strategic consulting they
[00:30:14.08]

[00:30:12.21]
actually wanted to put plants in their
[00:30:16.06]

[00:30:14.08]
office and then we had our eh nest
[00:30:17.23]

[00:30:16.06]
department go in and do air quality
[00:30:19.23]

[00:30:17.23]
testing to see if the plants had a
[00:30:21.15]

[00:30:19.23]
measurable improvement on their air
[00:30:25.19]

[00:30:21.15]
quality we've done now two gardens food
[00:30:28.04]

[00:30:25.19]
producing gardens one of sweet ejek
[00:30:30.23]

[00:30:28.04]
energy institute one at procurement you
[00:30:32.13]

[00:30:30.23]
guys are over by procurement Oh check it
[00:30:35.13]

[00:30:32.13]
out it's a really amazing space we've
[00:30:37.23]

[00:30:35.13]
purchased water bottles most recently we
[00:30:40.03]

[00:30:37.23]
worked with EDB and OEE to do a
[00:30:43.03]

[00:30:40.03]
Styrofoam or cycling pilot program so
[00:30:44.20]

[00:30:43.03]
under those buildings those are two lab
[00:30:46.22]

[00:30:44.20]
buildings they get a lot of styrofoam
[00:30:48.01]

[00:30:46.22]
for those of you who have been in the
[00:30:49.16]

[00:30:48.01]
lab building we've actually been
[00:30:51.17]

[00:30:49.16]
recycling that out of that space or over
[00:30:53.13]

[00:30:51.17]
free mini graham so it's an opportunity
[00:30:55.06]

[00:30:53.13]
to not only reflect on what you're doing
[00:30:58.19]

[00:30:55.06]
and you know just revisit those things
[00:31:00.07]

[00:30:58.19]
that you could be doing initially but
[00:31:02.10]

[00:31:00.07]
also give real resources to make some
[00:31:05.23]

[00:31:02.10]
changes in your office beyond that there
[00:31:07.15]

[00:31:05.23]
we have events throughout the year so
[00:31:09.12]

[00:31:07.15]
encourage you if you aren't already to
[00:31:13.13]

[00:31:09.12]
get on our email list we have
[00:31:16.10]

[00:31:13.13]
sustainable facilities forum every year
[00:31:18.15]

[00:31:16.10]
we've got Earth Day coming up so we're
[00:31:20.18]

[00:31:18.15]
going to do a week of events leading up
[00:31:22.23]

[00:31:20.18]
to that you know we want to make sure
[00:31:25.01]

[00:31:22.23]
that you all have a place to come learn
[00:31:27.01]

[00:31:25.01]
about sustainability
[00:31:32.01]

[00:31:27.01]
we're trying to provide them and then
[00:31:35.20]

[00:31:32.01]
our students so more students we have
[00:31:38.15]

[00:31:35.20]
two main programs and then I'll talk a
[00:31:39.19]

[00:31:38.15]
little bit more about what everything
[00:31:41.12]

[00:31:39.19]
else looks like so the two main programs
[00:31:43.20]

[00:31:41.12]
we have essentially what we think of as
[00:31:45.20]

[00:31:43.20]
an associate board to the office the
[00:31:48.03]

[00:31:45.20]
student sustainability Advisory Council
[00:31:50.06]

[00:31:48.03]
it's a group of students who apply every
[00:31:53.04]

[00:31:50.06]
year this year which is over 30 and they
[00:31:55.10]

[00:31:53.04]
are our student voice on all things
[00:31:57.17]

[00:31:55.10]
related to sustainability at Georgia
[00:32:00.08]

[00:31:57.17]
Tech so for example last year we were
[00:32:02.06]

[00:32:00.08]
going through the dining RFP picking our
[00:32:04.13]

[00:32:02.06]
new dining vendor the dining vendor has
[00:32:06.16]

[00:32:04.13]
a really really significant contribution
[00:32:08.14]

[00:32:06.16]
to sustainability not in Turkey not only
[00:32:09.22]

[00:32:08.14]
in terms of what they're serving but
[00:32:11.06]

[00:32:09.22]
also in terms of the waste that they
[00:32:13.08]

[00:32:11.06]
produce so we work with our student
[00:32:14.22]

[00:32:13.08]
group to make sure that their priorities
[00:32:17.02]

[00:32:14.22]
were actually integrated into that RFP
[00:32:20.06]

[00:32:17.02]
this year we've been doing a lot of work
[00:32:24.07]

[00:32:20.06]
on waste so we've hired a consultant to
[00:32:25.15]

[00:32:24.07]
actually come in and look at all of our
[00:32:27.19]

[00:32:25.15]
waste practices on the campus with the
[00:32:30.06]

[00:32:27.19]
goal of giving us with a goal of telling
[00:32:31.21]

[00:32:30.06]
us what we need to do in order to become
[00:32:34.02]

[00:32:31.21]
a zero waste campus and so we've been
[00:32:35.16]

[00:32:34.02]
collecting the student feedback on that
[00:32:37.14]

[00:32:35.16]
as well see what what their pain points
[00:32:40.11]

[00:32:37.14]
are what they would like us to be
[00:32:43.08]

[00:32:40.11]
another student program for those who
[00:32:45.10]

[00:32:43.08]
are interested is actually a tour docent
[00:32:48.02]

[00:32:45.10]
program so this year the convenor
[00:32:49.14]

[00:32:48.02]
building course is an innovative
[00:32:51.23]

[00:32:49.14]
sustainable design came online and we've
[00:32:53.09]

[00:32:51.23]
got a lot of interest in that building
[00:32:54.20]

[00:32:53.09]
and a lot of folks who want to come
[00:32:55.16]

[00:32:54.20]
through that building
[00:32:57.23]

[00:32:55.16]
and learn everything that they can so
[00:32:59.04]

[00:32:57.23]
we're actually training the core of
[00:33:02.01]

[00:32:59.04]
volunteers students who are gonna be in
[00:33:03.12]

[00:33:02.01]
charge of leading those those tour
[00:33:04.23]

[00:33:03.12]
groups and it could be anyone who comes
[00:33:06.20]

[00:33:04.23]
through from a group of sixth graders to
[00:33:09.02]

[00:33:06.20]
a team of architects and so that's a
[00:33:10.19]

[00:33:09.02]
really great example it's a really great
[00:33:14.15]

[00:33:10.19]
program to one just share you know I
[00:33:16.10]

[00:33:14.15]
assume that you're in this room that
[00:33:18.23]

[00:33:16.10]
you're passionate about these issues to
[00:33:20.17]

[00:33:18.23]
share that passion with others but also
[00:33:22.03]

[00:33:20.17]
just a great experience of getting in
[00:33:23.21]

[00:33:22.03]
front of people and talking in a
[00:33:28.04]

[00:33:23.21]
relatively low-risk environment now
[00:33:31.05]

[00:33:28.04]
beyond that we do a lot kind of
[00:33:33.01]

[00:33:31.05]
consulting with student groups so you
[00:33:34.03]

[00:33:33.01]
guys have probably heard the phrase
[00:33:36.03]

[00:33:34.03]
Living Learning Lab Georgia Tech is a
[00:33:37.20]

[00:33:36.03]
Living Learning Lab what does that mean
[00:33:40.10]

[00:33:37.20]
it means we love opportunities where
[00:33:42.12]

[00:33:40.10]
students can work on projects where
[00:33:45.12]

[00:33:42.12]
they're either testing or exploring data
[00:33:47.23]

[00:33:45.12]
from the Institute proper so we actually
[00:33:50.05]

[00:33:47.23]
tend to overlap a lot with SLS in this
[00:33:51.15]

[00:33:50.05]
regards where student groups will come
[00:33:53.21]

[00:33:51.15]
to us with an idea for a project and
[00:33:55.11]

[00:33:53.21]
we'll work with them to actually
[00:33:57.23]

[00:33:55.11]
implement it right now we have a group
[00:33:59.16]

[00:33:57.23]
of students who found these great shower
[00:34:01.19]

[00:33:59.16]
heads they tell you in a digital readout
[00:34:03.16]

[00:34:01.19]
of how many gallons of water are coming
[00:34:06.03]

[00:34:03.16]
out of a shower head they also tell you
[00:34:08.07]

[00:34:06.03]
when the shower head gets hot this
[00:34:09.22]

[00:34:08.07]
actually addresses two issues as it
[00:34:12.09]

[00:34:09.22]
relates to conserving water and we're
[00:34:14.11]

[00:34:12.09]
actually don't put them in our dorms so
[00:34:17.01]

[00:34:14.11]
a pilot dorm this year so things like
[00:34:18.18]

[00:34:17.01]
that just making sure that when students
[00:34:20.21]

[00:34:18.18]
have to access to data they have access
[00:34:23.08]

[00:34:20.21]
to the resources the people but then
[00:34:24.23]

[00:34:23.08]
also trying to alleviate any burdens
[00:34:26.14]

[00:34:24.23]
start getting these things in place
[00:34:28.14]

[00:34:26.14]
because ultimately our
[00:34:32.05]

[00:34:28.14]
students you guys have so many amazing
[00:34:34.19]

[00:34:32.05]
ideas and the campus really is a better
[00:34:37.07]

[00:34:34.19]
place for us thinking about ways in
[00:34:40.08]

[00:34:37.07]
which we can integrate them in okay so
[00:34:43.21]

[00:34:40.08]
I'm gonna turn over to look I don't have
[00:34:46.07]

[00:34:43.21]
any slides so I'm gonna stay here but my
[00:34:48.14]

[00:34:46.07]
name is Lilly I'm a fourth year chemical
[00:34:50.20]

[00:34:48.14]
engineering student and in some way or
[00:34:52.08]

[00:34:50.20]
another throughout my time at Tech I
[00:34:53.23]

[00:34:52.08]
have been involved with either the
[00:34:55.17]

[00:34:53.23]
programming or the resources coming out
[00:34:57.13]

[00:34:55.17]
of all three of these spaces
[00:34:59.10]

[00:34:57.13]
my primary involvement has been with
[00:35:01.00]

[00:34:59.10]
alternative service breaks so I work
[00:35:04.08]

[00:35:01.00]
very closely with Sarah as the president
[00:35:05.20]

[00:35:04.08]
alternative service breaks that's been
[00:35:07.17]

[00:35:05.20]
an organization I've been involved with
[00:35:10.09]

[00:35:07.17]
since my freshman year so with that
[00:35:12.15]

[00:35:10.09]
organization I've been on four trips to
[00:35:14.06]

[00:35:12.15]
international to domestic I've been on
[00:35:18.21]

[00:35:14.06]
one to Costa Rica serving sea turtle
[00:35:20.15]

[00:35:18.21]
habitat preservation and community
[00:35:24.01]

[00:35:20.15]
gardening one to Belize doing eco health
[00:35:25.16]

[00:35:24.01]
and community development building at
[00:35:27.06]

[00:35:25.16]
health clinic and enrolled in a rural
[00:35:29.10]

[00:35:27.06]
community there I went on a trip to
[00:35:31.09]

[00:35:29.10]
Houston after hurricane Harvey to do
[00:35:33.21]

[00:35:31.09]
flood relief and I went on a trip to
[00:35:35.07]

[00:35:33.21]
Savannah Georgia to work with their
[00:35:37.03]

[00:35:35.07]
Humane Society so kind of a full
[00:35:38.22]

[00:35:37.03]
spectrum in terms of location and
[00:35:40.21]

[00:35:38.22]
service and that has been an
[00:35:43.20]

[00:35:40.21]
organization that has really impacted me
[00:35:46.00]

[00:35:43.20]
in my college experience now that I
[00:35:48.18]

[00:35:46.00]
prepare to graduate and I'm very much in
[00:35:50.23]

[00:35:48.18]
in the process of doing the whole job
[00:35:52.12]

[00:35:50.23]
search and interviewing things there's
[00:35:54.15]

[00:35:52.12]
priorities and perspectives that those
[00:35:56.05]

[00:35:54.15]
service experiences
[00:35:57.20]

[00:35:56.05]
didn't need that are really informing
[00:36:00.10]

[00:35:57.20]
the decisions that I'm making now for
[00:36:01.22]

[00:36:00.10]
the rest of my life that I don't think
[00:36:04.01]

[00:36:01.22]
would be as important to when I came to
[00:36:06.18]

[00:36:04.01]
college that's also a program I want to
[00:36:08.22]

[00:36:06.18]
highlight ages students and staff
[00:36:11.09]

[00:36:08.22]
students in the form of participants and
[00:36:12.23]

[00:36:11.09]
chip readers but we also have staff
[00:36:14.12]

[00:36:12.23]
advisers on all of our trips
[00:36:15.17]

[00:36:14.12]
I think it's an equally rewarding
[00:36:17.21]

[00:36:15.17]
experience for both parties I've made
[00:36:19.19]

[00:36:17.21]
some really great connections with staff
[00:36:21.16]

[00:36:19.19]
members and other students on my trips
[00:36:24.20]

[00:36:21.16]
with ASB and that's been an organization
[00:36:27.05]

[00:36:24.20]
that as I've been in the leadership role
[00:36:28.21]

[00:36:27.05]
of a student organization we've kind of
[00:36:31.01]

[00:36:28.21]
worked with other parts of civic
[00:36:33.11]

[00:36:31.01]
engagement to expand our programming
[00:36:35.22]

[00:36:33.11]
especially as it relates to trips or
[00:36:37.08]

[00:36:35.22]
service opportunities more in the
[00:36:38.18]

[00:36:37.08]
Atlanta community so we worked a lot
[00:36:42.02]

[00:36:38.18]
with Sarah on making experiences that
[00:36:43.20]

[00:36:42.02]
continue the service when students can
[00:36:45.14]

[00:36:43.20]
come back to Atlanta we've also worked
[00:36:49.00]

[00:36:45.14]
with SLS with their advisers on some of
[00:36:51.00]

[00:36:49.00]
their partnership principles and making
[00:36:52.11]

[00:36:51.00]
sure that the community partners that
[00:36:55.13]

[00:36:52.11]
we're selecting are sustainable and that
[00:36:57.05]

[00:36:55.13]
the projects were picking are a really
[00:36:59.02]

[00:36:57.05]
good fit for the program that was that
[00:37:00.18]

[00:36:59.02]
we're doing and also building in some
[00:37:03.06]

[00:37:00.18]
kind of educational components for our
[00:37:05.07]

[00:37:03.06]
trips so that the students and the staff
[00:37:07.16]

[00:37:05.07]
who participate get a more holistic
[00:37:09.12]

[00:37:07.16]
experience and get a broader perspective
[00:37:11.11]

[00:37:09.12]
and are able to come back and apply
[00:37:13.14]

[00:37:11.11]
those things back into the tech and
[00:37:14.15]

[00:37:13.14]
Atlantic
[00:37:16.04]

[00:37:14.15]
and then actually engaged with
[00:37:18.07]

[00:37:16.04]
sustainability in a kind of completely
[00:37:20.07]

[00:37:18.07]
different way I've been involved with
[00:37:22.20]

[00:37:20.07]
research in mechanical engineering lab
[00:37:25.13]

[00:37:22.20]
IBP for almost three years now and just
[00:37:27.09]

[00:37:25.13]
in those three years I've seen kind of a
[00:37:29.13]

[00:37:27.09]
huge shift in sustainability I think
[00:37:31.16]

[00:37:29.13]
I've seen it campus-wide but like you
[00:37:33.05]

[00:37:31.16]
mentioned the styrofoam recycling
[00:37:36.14]

[00:37:33.05]
project justjust in the kind of general
[00:37:40.13]

[00:37:36.14]
interest in my lab of the kind of energy
[00:37:42.04]

[00:37:40.13]
and resources that we're using needs to
[00:37:46.02]

[00:37:42.04]
leave our our biosafety cabinets on when
[00:37:48.06]

[00:37:46.02]
we didn't need them and now it's other
[00:37:49.22]

[00:37:48.06]
practice that if no one's doing it you
[00:37:52.02]

[00:37:49.22]
shut it down because the statistics are
[00:37:53.23]

[00:37:52.02]
alarming it's the amount of energy that
[00:37:58.03]

[00:37:53.23]
they suck so yeah all three of these
[00:38:01.03]

[00:37:58.03]
organs are offices spaces I think have
[00:38:02.18]

[00:38:01.03]
had an impact on me
[00:38:04.06]

[00:38:02.18]
in my time at Georgia Tech and and I've
[00:38:06.02]

[00:38:04.06]
been able to utilize if not through
[00:38:07.14]

[00:38:06.02]
their direct programming all of their
[00:38:09.21]

[00:38:07.14]
resources in terms of online resources
[00:38:12.06]

[00:38:09.21]
or or in person people resources to be
[00:38:15.19]

[00:38:12.06]
able to build out the kind of program
[00:38:15.19]

[00:38:16.07]
okay so my name is Mike fourth year
[00:38:21.12]

[00:38:20.08]
international affairs I have
[00:38:23.14]

[00:38:21.12]
concentration in city planning London
[00:38:25.09]

[00:38:23.14]
similar to Lilly I've had kind of
[00:38:26.16]

[00:38:25.09]
engagement of all of these offices
[00:38:33.09]

[00:38:26.16]
offices specifically with SLS I've been
[00:38:36.09]

[00:38:33.09]
working there since my freshman year so
[00:38:38.11]

[00:38:36.09]
my engagement with campus sustainability
[00:38:41.06]

[00:38:38.11]
in the SLS office has pretty much been
[00:38:43.02]

[00:38:41.06]
throughout my entire career at Georgia
[00:38:45.02]

[00:38:43.02]
Tech it's kind of led me to where I am
[00:38:47.11]

[00:38:45.02]
now as far as my decisions what I
[00:38:49.00]

[00:38:47.11]
decided I wanted to do with my career
[00:38:52.09]

[00:38:49.00]
path go further but having a role in
[00:38:54.03]

[00:38:52.09]
those offices has allowed me to kind of
[00:38:56.15]

[00:38:54.03]
see the back side of operations and
[00:38:58.16]

[00:38:56.15]
things that take a forest taking care of
[00:39:01.04]

[00:38:58.16]
sustainability the composting probably
[00:39:03.03]

[00:39:01.04]
came along for West Village and that
[00:39:05.01]

[00:39:03.03]
work started out I was an integral part
[00:39:07.07]

[00:39:05.01]
to that team and helping doing a waste
[00:39:09.08]

[00:39:07.07]
audits and going out and working on the
[00:39:11.06]

[00:39:09.08]
signage to making sure that students
[00:39:12.10]

[00:39:11.06]
were actually understand
[00:39:14.22]

[00:39:12.10]
engaging with students so that when we
[00:39:17.06]

[00:39:14.22]
communicated out things need to be done
[00:39:19.07]

[00:39:17.06]
they were understanding or actually
[00:39:21.23]

[00:39:19.07]
preventing perfect presenting others
[00:39:23.18]

[00:39:21.23]
excuse me clicked information that we
[00:39:25.19]

[00:39:23.18]
need it in order to improve signing and
[00:39:28.04]

[00:39:25.19]
improve communication so that their
[00:39:29.21]

[00:39:28.04]
handles easier for them to understand
[00:39:32.03]

[00:39:29.21]
how to come across in a recycle and for
[00:39:34.08]

[00:39:32.03]
us we were too busy dealing with
[00:39:37.00]

[00:39:34.08]
infiltration into our streams and having
[00:39:39.03]

[00:39:37.00]
to landfill a bunch of composting and
[00:39:42.02]

[00:39:39.03]
recycling because of miscommunication as
[00:39:43.06]

[00:39:42.02]
well with civic engagement
[00:39:46.04]

[00:39:43.06]
I didn't alternative service training to
[00:39:48.04]

[00:39:46.04]
Spring Breaks three Springs three weeks
[00:39:50.04]

[00:39:48.04]
ago I was working on crow reef
[00:39:52.12]

[00:39:50.04]
restoration around Florida which was
[00:39:54.12]

[00:39:52.12]
really awesome time made a lot of great
[00:39:56.16]

[00:39:54.12]
friends from that trip but a lot of each
[00:39:59.05]

[00:39:56.16]
gotta see the engagement part from the
[00:40:01.20]

[00:39:59.05]
students back online working outside of
[00:40:04.19]

[00:40:01.20]
your normal Georgia Tech community with
[00:40:06.15]

[00:40:04.19]
alternate service breaks out first time
[00:40:08.01]

[00:40:06.15]
I've ever done something like that
[00:40:09.16]

[00:40:08.01]
and it was really an eye-opening
[00:40:11.14]

[00:40:09.16]
experience to be able to say hey I'm
[00:40:12.20]

[00:40:11.14]
going to take my spring break my
[00:40:15.02]

[00:40:12.20]
vacation time where I used to go to the
[00:40:16.19]

[00:40:15.02]
beach with friends and hang out I'm
[00:40:18.22]

[00:40:16.19]
actually gonna go do to something that
[00:40:21.02]

[00:40:18.22]
beneficial to communities whether it's
[00:40:23.04]

[00:40:21.02]
my community or communities around the
[00:40:26.16]

[00:40:23.04]
nation so engaging on all of those
[00:40:29.17]

[00:40:26.16]
fronts has been really exciting or so -
[00:40:32.02]

[00:40:29.17]
to the point of and doused in captures
[00:40:33.22]

[00:40:32.02]
against the started to improve to see
[00:40:36.05]

[00:40:33.22]
improvements sustainability and its
[00:40:39.10]

[00:40:36.05]
aspects on campus the convener building
[00:40:41.08]

[00:40:39.10]
was an awesome experience that I got to
[00:40:42.19]

[00:40:41.08]
be a part of as well
[00:40:44.21]

[00:40:42.19]
student speaker for the launch of the
[00:40:47.17]

[00:40:44.21]
building that was really right for me to
[00:40:49.22]

[00:40:47.17]
kind of integrate myself into it
[00:40:52.06]

[00:40:49.22]
workouts going on knowing that was going
[00:40:54.13]

[00:40:52.06]
to be a very big project a very rigorous
[00:40:57.19]

[00:40:54.13]
project and so now being on the back end
[00:40:59.18]

[00:40:57.19]
of the completion of the building I'm
[00:41:02.00]

[00:40:59.18]
doing tours for it as well like surfing
[00:41:04.02]

[00:41:02.00]
and that kind of allows me to be full
[00:41:05.20]

[00:41:04.02]
circle with the building where I was
[00:41:07.21]

[00:41:05.20]
there when it started I'm here as I
[00:41:10.21]

[00:41:07.21]
finish my career you know I'm excited to
[00:41:12.16]

[00:41:10.21]
see what the bulletin used to produce
[00:41:15.11]

[00:41:12.16]
engagement embracing from students and
[00:41:16.23]

[00:41:15.11]
people from the community as well
[00:41:18.16]

[00:41:16.23]
because I think that's going to be one
[00:41:20.10]

[00:41:18.16]
of the biggest parts of Georgia Tech's
[00:41:22.10]

[00:41:20.10]
continued relationship with
[00:41:24.12]

[00:41:22.10]
sustainability and civic engagement is
[00:41:26.21]

[00:41:24.12]
that as we go forward into the future
[00:41:29.08]

[00:41:26.21]
and continuing to involve the community
[00:41:32.08]

[00:41:29.08]
as local right in our backyards
[00:41:34.07]

[00:41:32.08]
you know especially when you're looking
[00:41:36.18]

[00:41:34.07]
at these cities in the West and you know
[00:41:38.07]

[00:41:36.18]
by the city and all
[00:41:40.01]

[00:41:38.07]
cities where you know people will live
[00:41:41.22]

[00:41:40.01]
right next herb take and you have
[00:41:43.19]

[00:41:41.22]
students and people who don't even
[00:41:46.03]

[00:41:43.19]
believe that they can get into tech
[00:41:48.02]

[00:41:46.03]
because of the fact that they're never
[00:41:50.06]

[00:41:48.02]
getting the opportunity to come here and
[00:41:52.10]

[00:41:50.06]
to engage with us on different fronts
[00:41:54.18]

[00:41:52.10]
and so going forward as long as we
[00:41:56.23]

[00:41:54.18]
continue to engage these communities
[00:41:58.18]

[00:41:56.23]
engage students with these communities
[00:42:01.03]

[00:41:58.18]
and build that relationship I see a
[00:42:02.18]

[00:42:01.03]
great future in Georgia Tech's
[00:42:07.08]

[00:42:02.18]
sustainability inequity water supply
[00:42:07.08]

[00:42:11.20]
we'd be happy to take questions at this
[00:42:16.22]

[00:42:14.21]
point
[00:42:16.22]

[00:42:18.16]
plants expand the composting and you
[00:42:23.16]

[00:42:28.14]
yes so we're we're we we've hit the the
[00:42:36.11]

[00:42:33.16]
amount of money where we can continue
[00:42:37.23]

[00:42:36.11]
doing the templates so we're trying to
[00:42:40.06]

[00:42:37.23]
do a polarity which is a bit of a
[00:42:42.11]

[00:42:40.06]
process but once that's up and running
[00:42:43.23]

[00:42:42.11]
basically any department who wants to
[00:42:47.15]

[00:42:43.23]
participate can use that as a vehicle
[00:42:49.02]

[00:42:47.15]
through it now if you're just in doing
[00:42:50.13]

[00:42:49.02]
it now we can talk you could just set it
[00:42:53.08]

[00:42:50.13]
up yeah it's pretty simple we have a
[00:42:57.01]

[00:42:53.08]
great local vendor who very much ties
[00:42:58.19]

[00:42:57.01]
into our there principles of equity they
[00:43:00.19]

[00:42:58.19]
pay most $50 an hour
[00:43:04.10]

[00:43:00.19]
and we can chat but yes hopefully we
[00:43:07.14]

[00:43:04.10]
would love to see it throughout campus
[00:43:07.14]

[00:43:10.00]
so we don't go through a colonic who's
[00:43:13.22]

[00:43:11.15]
that
[00:43:13.22]

[00:43:24.17]
other questions
[00:43:27.19]

[00:43:42.06]
[Applause]
[00:43:47.06]

[00:43:52.10]
you
[00:43:54.11]
