Fact Sheet (FAQ)
Q. Do I have to sign up for SCUP's webcast to celebrate Campus Sustainability Day on my campus?
A. No. We hope that you will use the webcast as a centerpiece of programming, but you needn't do so.
Q. What equipment do I need to watch and listen to the webcast?
A. A computer hooked up to the Internet (for visuals) and a telephone line (for audio).
Q. How many people can watch and listen at once?
A. That depends on your arrangements. With more people and a larger space you need a data projector or other equipment for the visual, and a louder and louder version of a speakerphone.
- Some people will listen alone, on their computer at their desk.
- Typically, for SCUP webcasts, the average is within 4–10 people at a single location.
- For Campus Sustainability Day events there can and have been as many as several hundred people in an auditorium.
- Some campuses are not only showing the webcast live, but purchasing a CD of it for later use, which can include showing over campus networks.
Q. Will there be opportunities for audience Q&A?
A. Yes. We will use some live polling via the Internet, as well as be taking questions by telephone and email at points in the program.
Q. Do you have recommendations about how to fund this?
A. Not knowing your unique circumstances, the following are not recommendations, but some samples of how some campuses manage the cost of the webcast and related activities.
For example:
- On some campuses a department with a pertinent budget, say the president's office, facilities, or planning, will sponsor the program.
- On some campuses, people at the research and academic end of things, like a department of environmental science will sponsor the program.
- On other campuses, advocacy groups of students, staff, and/or faculty will sponsor the event—many times student groups can get appropriate student government funding if they ask for it early enough in the school year—that means now!
- Some companies that work for higher education—architects, engineers, construction firms, or businesses in the new 'green' industry that's springing up will provide funds.
