K-State’s first university-wide sustainability website launched Sept. 1 at sustainability.k-state.edu. The purpose of the website is to build awareness throughout the K-State community, whether on or off campus, about the wide variety of efforts and successes furthering sustainability at K-State. It can be a resource for connecting with efforts, for building new collaborations, and for promoting our successes and leadership in this area.
Most people will be interested in the Get Involved pages, which will grow over time to include many ways different people can get involved in furthering sustainability at K-State. You can also view the events calendar, with buttons for linking to personal calendars for automatic updating.
The website contains information about efforts in every area of the university to address sustainability, including courses, research projects, outreach efforts, campus facilities and operations projects, and centers focused on aspects of sustainability. It uses state-of-the-art web approaches such as tag clouds, dynamic linking to personal calendars, a news blog, and other features to make it an up-to-date and very robust way of showing how sustainability efforts are connected throughout the university.
For more information, or if you have information that should be included on the website, contact K-State’s director of sustainability, Ben Champion (champion@k-state.edu). You can also use the “request changes” and “contact” forms on the website.
