About NYCSHE

NYCSHE is the New York Coalition for Sustainability in Higher Education

Mission Statement:

The NY Coalition for Sustainability in Higher Education unites representatives of higher education and supporting organizations with a common interest to promote and support environmental, fiscal, and social responsibility.

Charge:

• To bring together members from higher education who share interest, knowledge, and expertise and those that are in strategic positions that impact our sustainability policies, practices, and physical development
• To advise members on “best practices” within the field of sustainability
• To be a conduit for information about policies, practices and ideas, primarily to make them more affordable, available, uniform, consistent, and utilized in order to support environmental needs in New York State
• To become a voice on promoting the best interests of sustainability stakeholders with the New York State Legislature and the Federal Government
• To coordinate related activities with coalitions of similar purpose, on a local, regional and national level

Focus Points:

We are currently working to best outline our focus points, which will come about as a result of additional conversation with a broad group of NY campus contacts.
