Over the past two decades, the emergence and growth of campus sustainability has contributed to a broad global movement calling for a transition toward a socially just and sustainable future for all. ‘Higher education institutions bear a profound, moral responsibility to increase the awareness, knowledge, skills, and values needed to create a just and sustainable future’ (Cortese, 2003). In addition to preparing the leaders of tomorrow, higher education serves as a sustainability model through its influences on K-12 learning and its role as a source for new ideas, commentary on social challenges, and engaged experimentation in sustainable living.
