BRAND NEW WEBSITE:
 
Play A Greater Part: Online Sustainability Assignments "Matchmaking" Service
- www.playagreaterpart.org
 
 
 
To engage students in creating the solutions for our sustainability
challenges as their course assignments or thesis, this web-based system
matches up those who need help with sustainability projects (e.g.
non-profits, faculty members, businesses and government planners) with
students and graduates eager to participate in sustainability-related
projects. Students can connect with faculty who offer credit, and thus
enhance the service learning potential in sustainability learning and
action. Those with projects can post a call for volunteers, and once
volunteers are accepted and the project begins, the person posting the
project receives a free website for posting of the project¹s progress. This
website is designed by the Society for College and University Planning in
collaboration with the US Partnership for Education for Sustainable
Development. 
 
Imagine a country where students get credit for helping to solve our
sustainability challenges. What projects would you like to conduct related
to sustainability?  Would you like student help with these projects? (You
can choose which students you accept to work on your project.) Please post
your project descriptions now at www.playagreaterpart.org
