鈥淎ddressing the mounting climate crisis and the myriad of intersecting challenges our society faces today requires collective action,鈥� says Erin Morantz, vice-president, advancement and alumni engagement, whose portfolio is accountable for this goal.

鈥淲ithin Advancement and Alumni Engagement (AAE), we鈥檙e doing our part to further the university鈥檚 sustainability goals while engaging with SFU鈥檚 diverse alumni and donor communities. AAE鈥檚 efforts have resulted in raising funds that support students and researchers studying the environment and sustainability, the transition to clean energy, and more. We are also generating support and awareness of vital research being done by SFU researchers on our critical ecosystems, and climate innovation. Whether it鈥檚 through alumni and donor events and communications, campaign planning, or our day-to-day operations, we鈥檙e activating sustainability in all we do.鈥�

Taking action

Below are just a few highlights of the many ways AAE is incorporating sustainability throughout our portfolio. We鈥檙e taking action by:

Enthusiastically pursuing fundraising initiatives that support sustainability.

Examples include a generous bequest from SFU alumnus Kenneth Cawker that provides vital funding for students in the Faculty of the Environment. Other examples include funding for impactful projects at SFU, like Dr. Anne Salomon鈥檚 kelp system science project within the School of Resource and Environmental Management. AAE is also proud to facilitate collaboration with numerous private, corporate and government, and philanthropic organizations at the Morris J. Wosk Centre for Dialogue. With broad support, the Wosk Centre is able to cover an impressive range of topics and speakers whose expertise revolve around research, policy on climate action and solutions, urban sustainability, and more.

Amplifying SFU鈥檚 progress and commitment to sustainability throughout our donor or alumni communications as well as stewardship and engagement initiatives.

Whether it鈥檚 through our monthly SFU Alumni eNews or , our biennial magazine the impact of philanthropy at SFU, we are sharing SFU鈥檚 progress on sustainability widely.

Reducing our operational carbon footprint and waste.

In all our events鈥攚hether alumni, donor or stewardship events, staff meetings or socials鈥擜AE encourages the use of public transit and/or carpooling. We use locally-sourced catering whenever possible and almost 100 per cent digital event invitations. AAE has also transitioned to primarily digital formats for nearly all donor and alumni communications, contributing to significantly reduced waste in our department overall. This includes pivoting to paperless distribution of communications to donors, including tax receipting, regulatory reporting.
