In higher education, aligning sustainability work with institutional mission can help reinforce and support university goals. As colleges and universities increasingly seek to offer real world, hands on learning experiences for their students, sustainability programs have a powerful opportunity to position their existing applied learning and living laboratory work as a direct contributor to those priorities. By making these connections explicit, sustainability professionals can better situate their work within broader institutional conversations about teaching, learning, and the student experience. This session explores how sustainability offices at Tufts University, Northeastern University, and Johns Hopkins University have connected their work to experiential learning. Presenters will share how these connections were developed, the kinds of experiential learning opportunities they support, and practical strategies others can use at their own institutions.
