Surveying the equipment needed for research depends on understanding the synergy of all NMSU involvements in sustainability: community, operations, education pedagogy in-order-to reach NMSU full future in authentic potential-for-Being-Sustainable-in-New Mexico

Potential to become Sustainable E&R University

We recommend E&R report annually in a meeting like this one to President, Provost & VP Research

1. To increase access of E&R to the upper administration

2. To assure sustainability in curriculum and research has a high priority

3. To facilitate reporting and goal implementation

4. To synergize E&R with operations, & community for pedagogic opportunities

Thank you

2002- For five years (through 2006) OASIS (Organic Agriculture Students Inspiring Sustainability) organic Community Supported Agriculture class and project operated on NMSU main campus, initiated by Professor Connie Falk

Opportunity to develop Potentiality-for-Being-a-whole Sustainability in E&R connections to entire NMSU

1. Elevate impact of Education & Research

2. Provide more direct route to administration

3. Synergies between E&R and operations and community

Based on a presentation by OASIS students in 2008, Interim President Waded Cruzado signed the Talloires Declaration in 2009

STARS RESULTS:
