Welcome to your brand new Sustainable Campus newsletter.
Find the tools to help you live, learn, and lead for sustainability on campus and in your daily life. Resources inside for staff, students, faculty, and the rest of the Cornell community.
The new Sustainable Campus Connections has four main sections:

- Lead and Learn: We believe everyone has a role to play in creating a low carbon, sustainable future and campus. Big ideas start with you. Accelerate your leadership and by taking advantage of these learning, leadership, and career opportunities.
- Live Sustainably: Resources to help you lead a just, healthy, happy and environmentally conscious life on campus, at home, and in the office.
- News & Events: Stay connected with the latest on how we are creating a sustainable, carbon-neutral campus, and plug in to events on sustainability topics across campus.
We'd really love to hear what you think of the new design - share your feedback in this short survey to help us improve.
Happy new year!
