Students and staff share ideas for a more sustainable university

In June, SUM2030 hosted engaging focus group discussions with UM students and staff to gather their valuable insights and ideas on how to make UM more sustainable in the coming years. These thoughtful sessions allowed participants to share their perspectives and attitudes toward sustainability on campus, while also identifying potential barriers and enablers. They proposed practical steps to advance our sustainability goals across education, research, and operations, expressing their eagerness to contribute in diverse ways. The feedback collected will be carefully analyzed to shape the comprehensive Sustainability Survey, scheduled for launch in September/October 2025, which will further enrich our understanding and support mid-term or end-term evaluations.
