Ecodemia: Campus Environmental Stewardship at the Turn of the 21st Century
Lessons in Smart Management from Administrators, Staff and Students
by Julian Keniry
with a preface by Jay D. Hair, former president of the National Wildlife Federation, and a foreward by David Orr, Chair and Professor of Environmental Studies at Oberlin College.
At campuses around the country, staff, administrators, faculty, and students are redesigning the basic principles on which their institutions operate from day to day. The winners in this transformation are the global environment, local communities, campus morale, and the institutions' fiscal bottom-line. Now, the National Wildlife Federation's Campus Ecology Program has documented these management innovations in a comprehensive new book based on extensive interviews with the people behind the green practices.
Ecodemia includes:
- A detailed portrait of environmental responsibility as envisioned and practiced by colleges and universities nationwide;
- Chapters on virtually every facet of campus operations, including procurement, dining services, landscaping, and energy;
- Case studies and individual profiles of administrators, staff, faculty, and students who have transformed their own work and changed their institutions;
- Project histories, including pitfalls to avoid, as well as steps to success;
- Quotes that reveal the nuts and bolts of campus change and show how environmental careers are really made; and
- Countless examples that debunk the myth of stodgy administrators behind closed doors and show how students, faculty, and staff are working together-- with incredible results.
