  1. SWOT Analysis From Kathleen, Danny, Becky, Nathan, Elliot Scribbled down by sdh

  2. Strengths • “green” campus: fac/stu/staff have buy-in of cause. • A lot of space: 319 acres, close w/ HSMC • Eco-reps, Seac, SGA, SMPs (good student groups to help) • Location adds to awareness, urgency. • Good green publicity: and we create more. Growing part of our image! • We have some renewable. • We’re actively working on a sundry of projects. • Sustainability in general is now going to be in our Strategic Plans • We have a track record of energy savings in new buildings: skilled staff. • We did a SWOT. _____________________________________ Personal strengths - we’re all dedicated to this…”yay” • age: it’s our issue. You have more time. • Optimists at heart! Woo! • Old people don’t party as much… joie de vive. • Easy to talk to others, build movement and momentum on student level. • Leaders to some extent, and really good PR face.

  3. Weaknessess • We’re broke: - technology is expensive. - are we willing to spend what little we have on energy projects/new programs.? Not a #1 priority: we’re focused on education/affordability. -Culture of excess and waste. -Lack of motivation; we only have 6-10 here. NO STAFF/FACULTY!!! • No institutional sustainability frame. • We have to redo heat/cool, but we cant even keep our community comfortable. ______________________________________________ - We’re all really busy. • We don’t have much technical knowledge! • We don’t have direct access to sustainability-knowledge. • We’re all young, not-established, not in power. -

  4. Opportunities • HSMC connection • Small population- its easy to adapt. • SOMEONE (or more) HERE WILL BE THE NEW STUDENT TRUSTEE! Seriously. Do it. NOW! • Our opportunity to redefine identity. • On the water (renewable location for geothermal/tide/wind/solar) • We could make new jobs (like in a farm) or credit opportunities for projects. • Site for new projects (private funded) • Much of campus needs renovating soon • Alumni connections: Solar-Tech/ VP of BP solar, all our wicked activists. MAT • Behavioral changes: (like laundry racks); we are personally responsible so we can make a big change.

  5. Threats • Time! We have little time to act… and we’re on a deadline (may 15th) • State could take a lot more money back. • Potential new president and administration could be lax on this issue.. • Strategic Plan • Potential backlash from a strained community.
