SUNY Oneonta Implements Sustainability Ini5a5ves Campus Wide: Guide and Map Introduction: Sustainability prac/ces have been implemented throughout SUNY Oneonta’s campus. These prac/ces have posi/vely enhanced the environment for current and future students, faculty, and staff. ABer reading the Report of the World Commission on Environment and Development: Our Common Future, Sustainable development can be defined as “a process of change in which the exploita/on of resources, the direc/on of investments, the orienta/on of technological development; and ins/tu/onal change are all in harmony and enhance both current and future poten/al to meet human needs and aspira/ons”. ABer years of improving sustainable development on campus, SUNY Oneonta has decreased water usage (Figure 2) and electricity usage in dorms, educated students on different sustainable prac/ces through the workshops within dorms, increased local food supplies on campus, and overall provided the campus with a more sustainable environment. Research Methods: The independent study has been built on the results of Joseph Raguzin (Geography major). The research done in order to gather the informa/on needed was through interviews with various students and faculty members that have contributed to the sustainability related projects on campus. In addi/on, the data and charts have been provided from the Sustainability Coordinator, Hannah Morgan. Sustainability Map: With the help of Alex Robinson, Alanna Bergstrom, and Dr. Fuller, a Geographic Informa/on System (GIS) map has been created to highlight various sustainability ini/a/ves on campus. The informa/on gathered in this map is intended to help educate students, faculty, incoming or interested students, parents, and the public about the sustainable ini/a/ves around SUNY Oneonta. Use the key provided to view the different ini/a/ves around campus (Figure 3). The projects include: § Waste: E-waste collec/on at Hunt Union, the Red Dragon ThriB shop located in the basement of Netzer. • Energy Management: LED ligh/ng, LEED qualified buildings (Fitzelle and Physical Science), Energy Star Buildings, and the Solar Farm that will start being created in 2017. Conclusion: SUNY Oneonta has done an extraordinary job crea/ng a more sustainable campus. Educa/on must play an important role to keep improving our campus for future genera/ons, and help enhance student and faculty engagement. Through many challenges, our campus has improved and is s/ll further developing sustainably. It has been concluded that without hard work, and dedica/on among not only faculty and staff but also the community, SUNY Oneonta can become a greener home to many. Purpose: The research conducted through this Independent Study reports on current environmental sustainable prac/ces and future sustainability ini/a/ves. A comprehensive guide was developed using a Geographic Informa/on System (GIS) that visualizes, describes, and locates sustainable prac/ces.

Wilsbach has the compost facility (located on the map). Each dining hall sends preconsumer food waste to a pig farm. The dining services have also gone tray less in order to decrease water usage. • Environmental Impact: these buildings are part of the storm water ini/a/ves being done on campus to help slow the rate of runoff. This includes reten/on basins, and retaining walls. • Transporta9on: Student Associa/on has a bike share program where students can sign out to use quality bikes as an alterna/ve to driving or taking the bus. The campus has also installed electric charging sta/ons in the Alumni Field House parking lot (Figure 4). • Educa9on: There are many workshops being developed to educate students and faculty. There are sustainability coordinators at every residence hall, and a Sustainable Susquehanna Faculty Development Workshop. • Wetlands: The wetlands have been created in order to help reduce water runoff and erosion. ABer crea/ng this GIS map, one step was taken further to help educate students. On the map provided on the computer, descrip/ons and graphs have been added to each building to provide further details of the sustainable prac/ces around campus. The GIS map will poten/ally be uploaded to the college website in order to provide a virtual tour.
