To open lines of communication and initiate a network focused on increasing higher education sustainability efforts in Louisiana, the University Sustainability Coalition was established in 2021, led by co-chairs from the University of Louisiana at Lafayette and Tulane University.
The group of 16 colleges and universities meets four times throughout the academic school year with one goal—to increase higher education sustainability efforts in Louisiana. Monthly meetings consist of presenting and sharing program ideas, successes, and challenges related to campus sustainability. Networking and sharing have led to members replicating successful programs focused on implementing more sustainable campus dining practices and reducing waste during the student move-out.
