Exciting Sustainability Opportunity- Conscious College Road Tour

1.1.18 ccrt-2018-flyer

My name is Cami, and I am a college student serving as the Student Advisory Board Vice President this year for the organization Turning Green. I’m excited to introduce you to an amazing program we offer: the Conscious College Road Tour. We would like to forward this along to students as well as read about it yourself. Learn more below.


Turning Green is accepting applications for the 7th Annual Conscious College Road Tour, taking place March 19 – May 4, 2018. The Tour will make stops at 16 college campuses across the country. We would love to include University of Washington as one of our stops this year.


The CCRT works to inform students on a variety of sustainability themes, empower them to create tangible change in their community, and mobilize them around a student-led actionable project. Each stop includes an educational tabling event mid day focusing on key themes of food, body, zero waste, fashion, clean and home and then is followed up in the evening with a Town Hall meeting to develop a sustainability project led by students. The event fosters a valuable collaboration between students, faculty, and staff as we work alongside you to implement a sustainability project on each college campus. The CCRT also provides an opportunity for students who are interested in applying for a TG summer internship to meet with the team.

What students are saying about CCRT:

  • Bradley, Arizona State University: “I think your organization’s platform is just what college campuses need. I met other student leaders tonight that I have never met before! Thanks for such a great presentation and a great day.”

  • Jordan, Cleveland State University: “I know a lot of people were surprised by the endless facts that they learned. Each station offered so much information. We enlightened so many people. It was such an amazing experience to host the event, I can’t wait to see the ripple effect it has on campus!”

  • Brett, Clemson University: “As a senior I can honestly say that the CCRT event was one of my finer memories of student collaboration. A true definition of Solid Green and the Clemson Family mentality.”

  • Erica, California Polytechnic State University: “Thank you Turning Green for making the CCRT possible at Cal Poly and for all the amazing efforts you make to spread awareness on sustainability and make it accessible to everyone! I was so inspired by the impact of this event on my campus. I think the CCRT is exactly what colleges need to really install a conscious mindset on campus, and make it stick.”


We invite you to apply for a Road Tour stop at your school! Please take a look at the CCRT webpage here for more details and videos of previous Road Tour stops.

Students or staff who wish to host a Road Tour Stop at their school can apply here. Upon review, we will let you know if your application has been selected for a phone interview, the final step of the application process. We hope to develop unique and powerful projects, transform practices and actions, and change the world together.

Please join us!

Introduction to business course for non business majors

ESRM 320, Marketing & Management From a Sustainability Perspective, is a course that:

  • gives NW and I&S and 5 credits
  • has no prerequisites
  • has a course website is at https://canvas.uw.edu/courses/1131336
  • Note this is a hybrid online course (hybrid meaning there are two mandatory in-person exams on 5.3 and 5.31, 4:30-6:50 pm, in 223 Anderson Hall Seattle Campus and has several online quizzes on specific dates/times

 

Overview: Marketing and Management. In ESRM 320, we explore two of the four primary business dimensions: marketing and human resource management (companion course ESRM 321 explores finance and accounting). Marketing refers to promoting, pricing, and distributing new and existing products and services that are aimed at satisfying consumers’ wants, needs, and objectives. Human resource management refers to developing, managing, and motivating human capital and resources. Sustainability refers to integrating environmental, social, and financial elements in order to meet the needs of people today without compromising Earth’s capacity to provide for future generations. Integrating these three is called the triple bottom line. In business, the bottom line refers to net income or profits because it is the last (i.e., bottom) line in a company’s income statement; profits are essential because a business is unsustainable without them. Sustaining the planet over the long term depends not on one but all three bottom lines. We will explore the meaning and importance of sustainable business practices.

 

Course Goals. ESRM 320 has two primary student learning objectives: 1) learn business concepts and 2) gain hands on experience assessing corporate sustainability performance. The business learning objectives below underlined are achieved through listening to online recorded business lectures and reading the required Nickels textbook while the sustainability learning objectives in bold below are achieved through assessing GRI indicators using sustainability report information.

 

Learning Objectives (at the end of this course, students should be able to do the following).

–  Explain marketing, management, corporate social responsibility, and sustainability concepts

–  Describe how markets are segmented, targeted, and products positioned to satisfy individual, government, and business consumers’ needs

–  Compare techniques for creating value-added products; valuing environmental and social externalities and managing traditional pricing; developing distribution strategies and “greening” the supply chain; and creating and implementing promotion campaigns

–  Define managerial and leadership styles and theories of motivation

–  Summarize the human resource process of recruiting, interviewing, hiring, training, motivating, and evaluating employees

–  Summarize how a commitment to sustainability can enhance customer and employee satisfaction

–  Describe Global Reporting Initiative (GRI) framework for sustainability reporting

–  Assess human rights, labor practices, product responsibility, and society sustainability performance

–  Analyze real world sustainability performance using data in corporate sustainability reports

–  Summarize and interpret sustainability performance data
