[SustainableTompkins] Cornell Launches New Sustainability Portal

[Daniel Roth]

*Cornell Launches New Sustainability Portal:
Linking Research, Learning, Stewardship and Outreach
*For more information contact: Dan Roth (dnr6 at cornell.edu)

For the first time within Cornell's home page there is a website to help 
the public explore the breadth of Cornell's efforts in sustainability.  
The new site http://www.cornell.edu/sustainability/ went "live" Tuesday 
afternoon. Over the next week the Collaborative Culture area in the 
lower left corner of the Cornell homepage will feature the 
sustainability updates to the Collaborative Culture page
( http://www.cornell.edu/collaborative/)

The site provides both an overview and links to many specific programs 
and initiatives. Visit regularly to see new highlighted features. Many 
thanks, to Mark Lawrence (project manager), Zac Doob (designer), Dan 
Roth (content advisor), and Roger Segelken (writer from Publications & 
Marketing) for their creative work.

*The portal also features a new system for you to "flag" your 
sustainability events and outreach programs.

Flagging Events:
*Next time you plan a event that relates to sustainability (on campus or 
in the community) add your event to the Cornell Events Calendar 
http://www.cornell.edu/events/add.cfm and check off the sustainability 
box under "Event Flags." This will automatically enter your events into 
our sustainability events calendar system.

*Profiling Outreach Programs:
*Involved in an outreach program that advances local or global 
sustainability? In 10 minutes you could be profiled within the brand new 
Outreach Portal's Sustainability Section. All you need is a Cornell net 
id. Visit http://www.cornell.edu/outreach/admin/ to add your program 
today. Be sure to check off "sustainability" as appropriate.
