Dealing with Climate Change

The biggest challenge of our lifetimes is here. Colleges and universities need to prepare for the effects of climate change, but we’re not just passive victims of circumstance. Higher education is also an active agent for change, finding new ways to reduce atmospheric carbon, mitigate climate change’s consequences, and design more energy-efficient buildings. With integrated planning, with conversations, collaborations, and strategic initiatives, we can literally save the world … together.

Why I’m a SCUP Member...

"The accessibility to learning about strategic planning is invaluable to the future growth and planning of our institutions. The highly trained professionals coming out of the SCUP Planning Institute are ready to adapt to the new reality in higher education, which is to do much more with much less. I think institutions should require that any new planner they hire be a graduate of the program or to go through it as quickly as possible."
