ISF organized an initial Sustainability Working Group (SWG) in spring 2024. This group included interested staff and faculty who worked to ensure the success of the first “State-wide Campus Sustainability Networking Workshop” supported by ISF. This event brought together faculty and professional staff from multiple universities across the state (and, virtually, across the US) to discuss current challenges and opportunities in campus sustainability. 

Purdue is well positioned to educate future leaders, conduct innovative research, and collaborate with governments, industries, and social groups to advance sustainability. In summer 2024, an initiative was launched to study recent and current sustainability practices and initiatives on campus and identify ways to enhance sustainability practices across campus and further position Purdue as a leader in sustainability among its peers in the Big Ten Academic Alliance and beyond.
