Final Report of The Sustainability Project

Abstract

The 2011-2012 academic school year marked a series of speakers, courses, road trips, films, and conferences, which together formed the Program in American Studies Sustainability Project. Greater than the contribution of any individual event, the yearlong proceedings heightened the atmosphere of environmental awareness on Vanderbilt’s campus. Our ultimate goal for this year of programming was to create a campus-wide conversation that would embolden Vanderbilt's efforts toward sustainability while deepening our understanding of what we are working toward.
