FRAMEWORK FOR JOHNSON C. SMITH UNIVERSITY’S SUSTAINABILITY PLAN
Abstract
On behalf of their client Johnson C. Smith University (JCSU), three Nicholas School
Masters of Environmental Management students have composed the framework for a future
comprehensive sustainability plan. The purpose is to build an ethos of sustainability
on JCSU’s campus and in its surrounding communities. The framework is organized through
a four-tiered process: creating a University vision, creating a University mission,
building a sustainability committee and staff, and implementing specific sustainability
strategies. These strategies enumerate short, mid, long-term phasing-in of energy
efficiency and greenhouse gas emissions reductions , increased faculty and student
awareness through a dorm energy conservation competition and “Eco-Reps” peer education
program, improved campus operations in recycling and dining, and community outreach
programs.
