Campus Engagement
The Tishman Center co-designs and implements university policies that establish sustainability, climate change, and service as core practices. In addition to the work we do on campus, the Tishman Center supports The New School community members who are engaged with their external communities as a means of discovering ways we can expand our reach beyond the campus.
We collaborate with a variety of academic and administrative departments on campus to implement, measure, and promote sustainable practices at The New School.
We collaborate with Buildings, Dining, Housing and Residential Education, Social Justice Initiatives, the office of Student Leadership and Involvement, and Student Support and Crisis Management, among others, to develop environmentally sound actions students, faculty, and staff can or should practice on campus.
