UCSF Community Engagement and Education Towards Better Sustainability Claire Skach, Jerry Liu University of California, San Francisco School of Dentistry Position Background Events Impact 1.) Sustainability Resource Fair @ School of Dentistry Orientation Who: Incoming UCSF dental students What: Taught students how UCSF diverts waste. Why: The success of UCSF waste diversion programs requires accurate waste sortment. 2.) UCOP Cool Campus Challenge – Tabling Sessions Who: UCSF students, staff, and faculty. What: Tabled & advertised the CCC at UCSF’s highly trafficked areas Why: To register participants and spread advertize the CCC. 3.) Film Screening: Paris to Pittsburg Who: UCSF students, staff, faculty, and the general public. What: Dinner and a showing of Paris to Pittsburg, a documentary that touches on challenges that individuals face from climate change and their efforts to resolve them. Why: The documentary served as an inspiration for UCSF community members to develop improvements to help UCSF become more environmentally sustainable. 4.) Campus-wide Living Green Ice Cream Social What: A lunch gathering to showcase UCSF campus resources that will help personnel and offices become environmentally sustainable. Why: UCSF students, staff, and faculty have limited free-time during the day. The ice-cream social allows for a low-effort way for the UCSF community to learn of ways to help UCSF become carbon neutral. Attendees / People Reached Overall we estimate that these events reached more than 550 members of the UCSF community. Funding for the resource fair and CCC tabling sessions were provided by UCSF Facilities Management and Office of Sustainability. Permission was obtained to screen Paris to Pittsburg, and catered vegan meals were provided to attendees. Mitchell’s ice cream, reusable tote bags, bike helmet, water flossers, and gift cards to vegan restaurants were purchased to incentivize engagement for the ice cream social. Data: Cost per Attendee for Events funded by CNI Engagement Fellowship Experience snapshot from Ice Cream Social Attendee “At the sustainability ice cream social I learned proper recycling, composting, and waste reductions techniques. I learned that the disposable utensils with holes at the end are certified compostable. This was a great event; people were able to walk away with very useful information and prizes!” - Sana Mahmood, third year dental student The CNI Student Engagement Fellowship is a one year program which offers environmentally-minded students to develop programs to engage their campus community to contribute innovative research, business practices, and policies that will help the UC reach its goal of becoming carbon neutral by 2025. Image 2(Above) : UCSF Facilities Management and CNI Engagement fellows raising awareness on recyclability of waste encountered within the UCSF Dental Clinics Image 1(Left) : Categorization of dental waste created by students at the resource fair Implementation Engagement fellows are given $1000 in programming funding and left with full autonomy over decisions with its use. However, in 2018-2019 fellows were given an additional $75 worth of tote-bags and were encouraged to use them at events that will promote the UC-Wide Cool Campus Challenge (CCC). The CCC encourages campus community members to form teams, take pledges, and report actions that will reduce their carbon footprints in the month of April. In addition, engagement fellows work to shape their campus’ culture to become more environmentally-friendly through education and awareness. Event Attendees Money Spent $ Per Attendee Film Screening 23 $450 $19.57 Ice Cream Social 325 $550 $1.67 CCC Tabling 104 $75 $0.72 Image 3: CNI Fellow Jerry Liu, answers questions about the CCC Vision Overview of the 2018-2019 UCSF CNI Engagement Fellows programs to increase environmentally focused community engagement Lessons Learned Engagement activities were more effective when held during the lunch hour. Those that minimize participation time to 5-10 minutes held attention and had more attendance than longer events. Engagement events should fit within work-flow of the audience. Food and prizes (especially those that promote sustainable lifestyles) are excellent ways to draw in crowds and create a lasting memories.
