The fifth chapter of the 2023-2024 President to President thought leadership series is now available online. In “Reducing Energy Consumption as Step One to Building a Sustainability Movement,” Sam Houston State University President Alisa White, Ph.D., shares ideas for gradually developing a comprehensive sustainability program. Starting with a building management project that had clear, tangible results and looking for opportunities to expand from there helped her campus build the right momentum and ensure success. 
"The push toward sustainability in everything we do has grown in recent years, as individuals and organizations grapple with the ongoing impacts of climate change and other environmental challenges," says VWU President Scott. D. Miller. This year’s President to President series, titled "Sustainable Futures for Higher Education," explores the role of sustainability in modern higher education. Ten venerable college and university presidents share their perspectives over the course of the series, offering new perspectives and fresh insights. As the Executive Editor of this series, Dr. Miller hopes you find value in these ideas and enjoy reading each new chapter as it is published online every month.
