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 15 th ) 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.
