Abstract
Sustainability is an increasingly important issue within higher education, and many colleges and universities are taking steps to develop programs and long-term goals that address this issue on their campuses. One significant step taken by many institutions has been to hire a sustainability coordinator. This paper argues that structural changes are needed for these coordinators to effectively work interdepartmentally and offer a cohesive vision for sustainability. Current statistics and examples are cited. Explanations for why current programs may not be working and what needs to change are offered. Higher education has a responsibility to respond to environmental concerns, and to do so successfully, colleges and universities must empower sustainability coordinators with adequate resources and credibility.
