足彩app哪个是正规的 University of Washington Bothell has received the 2022 Excellence & Innovation Award for Sustainability and Sustainable Development from the American Association of State Colleges and Universities. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

足彩app哪个是正规的 national award honors higher education institutions that demonstrate a clear commitment to advancing environmental sustainability and sustainable development in their policies, practices and\/or curriculums.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cThis is among the highest accolades conferred by AASCU,\u201d said Dr. Kristin G. Esterberg, UW Bothell chancellor, \u201cand we couldn\u2019t be more honored to receive it. Sustainability has been a core principle of our campus for many years, and this recognition reflects that.\u201d <\/p>\n\n\n\n

In the classroom <\/h2>\n\n\n\n

As part of its commitment to advancing sustainability, UW Bothell educates students on sustainability, emphasizing the importance of both individual responsibility and civic participation. In addition to seven degree programs<\/a> and two minors related to sustainability, the University regularly offers more than 150 academic courses<\/a> that incorporate sustainability information and issues. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cWe recognize that sustainability is more than implementing practices that minimize harm to the environment,\u201d said Esterberg. \u201cEducating our students and sending them into the world as stewards of the Earth is at our core, and I appreciate our faculty serving as good role models in this regard.\u201d <\/p>\n\n\n\n

In the last few years, for example, the University faculty members elevated two pathways<\/a>, or tracks, within the former Bachelor of Science in Environmental Science to be their own majors: Earth System Science and Conservation and Restoration Science. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Individual courses related to the environment are also extremely popular with students. One such class is taught by Dr. Jennifer Atkinson, associate teaching professor in the School of Interdisciplinary Arts & Sciences, who researches and teaches about the emotional and mental health impacts of climate disruption and ecological loss. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cI am currently working on a book titled An Existential Toolkit for the Climate Crisis that explores strategies for helping young people navigate the emotional toll of climate breakdown,\u201d Atkinson said. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cIn tackling the intersecting crises of racial injustice, climate change, pandemics and ecological degradation, my approach is rooted in the belief that the challenge is to ensure that students don\u2019t just have the content they need to address these issues \u2014 but that they also have the existential tenacity to stay engaged in climate solutions and navigate the long emergency ahead.\u201d <\/p>\n\n\n\n

On the campus <\/h2>\n\n\n\n

UW Bothell\u2019s strong emphasis on undergraduate research provides students opportunities to contribute to faculty research projects too, such as the CCUWBee Native Bee Research Initiative led by Dr. Amy Lambert, associate teaching professor in the School of IAS. This initiative led to Bee Campus USA certification in 2021. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Created in the spring of 2017, the project focuses on supporting pollinator populations across campus. 足彩app哪个是正规的 researchers survey the populations weekly from spring to late fall, gathering diversity and abundance data on these bees. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cOur goal is to provide the campus community with detailed knowledge on local bee populations and how, as an environmentally conscious school, we can improve native habitats,\u201d Lambert said. \u201cWe aim to inspire students and faculty with a citizen-science approach to research and innovative thinking to ensure the best future for the pollinators who call our campus their home.\u201d <\/p>\n\n\n\n

To help campus pollinators, the grounds team plants and designs areas with native flora as resources for pollinators and promotes nesting sites by letting some areas grow unencumbered by mowing techniques and maintenance. \u201cLetting a landscape develop naturally is great not just for pollinators but for the ecosystem as a whole,\u201d said Tyson Kemper, grounds supervisor at the University. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cIf grass grows long enough, it provides seed and food for creatures, cover for rodents and small animals as well as habitats for them to live in which then supports eagles, coyotes and racoons,\u201d he said. \u201cWe try to create spaces like this on campus whenever possible.\u201d <\/p>\n\n\n\n

For the community <\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Sustainable grounds practices such as these are key to UW Bothell. 足彩app哪个是正规的 campus grounds are maintained organically with careful and creative strategies to manage unwanted plants and animals without pesticides. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cThis is an important factor in environmental impact and in creating safe edible spaces on campus where students and other community members can forage and harvest fresh herbs and produce,\u201d Kemper said. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"\"<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

足彩app哪个是正规的re are currently five separate spaces dedicated to edible landscaping on campus, including the apple orchard, medicinal garden, Food Forest, Campus Farm and Herb Walk. All are open for harvesting by students, faculty and staff, along with members of the greater community. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201c足彩app哪个是正规的 Campus Farm alone produces of hundreds of pounds of food each year that gets donated to people in need,\u201d Kemper said. \u201cAnd just last year, the Food Forest won the AASHE Campus Sustainability award. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cI am proud to be a part of a university that truly cares and does the work.\u201d <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Earning marks of distinction <\/h2>\n\n\n\n

足彩app哪个是正规的 University\u2019s sustainability work has been recognized with a number of certifications and awards including these recent accolades: <\/p>\n\n\n\n

    \n
  • Bee Campus USA certification \u2013 recognizing the CCUWBee Native Bee Research Initiative <\/li>\n\n\n\n
  • Campus Sustainability award \u2013 an AASHE recognition of the campus\u2019 Food Forest <\/li>\n\n\n\n
  • Certified Wildlife Habitat \u2013 a National Wildlife Federation program that fosters appreciation and protection of wildlife to advance student leadership, restore habitat and conserve natural resources, such as the campus wetlands <\/li>\n\n\n\n
  • Salmon Safe Certified \u2013 with UW Bothell being the second university in the nation to be certified <\/li>\n\n\n\n
  • STARS (GOLD) \u2013 the second highest sustainability ranking a school or university can receive from the Association for the Advancement of Sustainability in Higher Education <\/li>\n\n\n\n
  • Sustainability Award in Facilities Management \u2013 awarded by APPA Leadership in Educational Facilities to recognize and advance sustainability excellence in educational facilities.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n

    And now, UW Bothell can add the 2022 AASCU E&I Award for Sustainability and Sustainable Development to its list. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

    \u201cI\u2019d like to extend my deepest gratitude to Kristen Attebery, interim sustainability coordinator, for managing the detailed application process,\u201d Esterberg said, \u201cas well as to Tony Guerrero, associate vice chancellor for Facilities Services & Campus Operations, and his team for their outstanding work building and caring for our beautiful campus over the years.\u201d <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
