Sustainability at CUNY
Sustainable CUNY’s programs target audiences that are both internal and external and can range from a crucial one-on-one meeting to hundreds of thousands of students to the general public through local, national and international press. These broad demographics necessitate a strategy that uses a variety of communication channels tailored to the intended audience and include: meetings, conference calls and webinars, newsletters, articles and media releases, data-base email blasts, conferences, events & networking, social media and a dedicated website. Main activities at CUNY Sustainability include:
- numerous reports and surveys posted on dedicated web-pages;
- e-mail blasts to a large data base;
- a newsletter;
- frequent interviews to the media.
NYC and NYS Solar Ombudsman serves as liaisons to the agencies and installers and provide technical assistance. Printed material is available at the many conferences Sustainable CUNY hosts or attends.
