Boldly Sustainable: Hope and Opportunity for Higher Education in the Age of Climate Change
by Beth Gray
The National Association of College and University Business Officers (NACUBO) is a great resource for anyone in higher education. In 2009, NACUBO teamed with Second Nature to publish a book titled, Boldly Sustainable: Hope and Opportunity for Higher Education in the Age of Climate Change. The book, written by Second Nature leaders Peter Bardaglio and Andrea Putnam, is a must-read for anyone interested in the issue of climate change as it relates to higher education. Virtually every aspect of the higher education environment is addressed from the perspective of climate change. From sustainable business models to greening dining halls and dormitories, the authors have managed to create a veritable encyclopedia of sustainability for higher education leaders interested in sustainability. In September 2009, American Public University System’s (APUS) President, Wallace Boston, Jr., published a thorough review of Boldly Sustainable on his blog. I encourage you to read President Boston’s thoughts on the work and take a look at Bardaglio and Putnam’s book for yourself. I am sure that you will find it worthwhile.
