Explore publications—including the updated Beyond the Right Thing to Do: The Value of Sustainability in Higher Education—and discover resources to inspire your campus community toward a more just and sustainable future. Share with your colleagues too!
Webinars are usually held on Wednesdays, starting at 2:00 p.m. ET unless otherwise noted and are free for everyone to attend. Video recordings and presentation materials are available for members in the webinar archive at any time.

WORKSHOP Nov. 13: Addressing the Inner Dimension of Sustainability in Higher Education - This workshop experientially explores the significance of inner dimensions—our mindsets, which include individual and collective beliefs, values, worldviews, as well as associated inner (cognitive, emotional, and relational) qualities and capacities—for bringing about transformative change.
WORKSHOP Jan. 12 & 15: Building a Sustainability Across the Curriculum Faculty Development Program for Your Institution - Are you ready to see your institution advance sustainability across the curriculum by engaging faculty in course creation or modifications to include or focus on sustainability learning? This workshop will introduce participants to best practice models and strategies that have been adopted successfully across the United States and beyond to help identify next steps forward for your institution.
See additional 2026 workshops and courses.
AASHE publications cover a wide range of higher education sustainability topics, from reports and how-to guides to benchmarking tools. In today’s changing landscape, colleges and universities play a crucial role in preparing changemakers and driving transformative action. The updated Beyond the Right Thing to Do: The Value of Sustainability in Higher Education helps leaders and practitioners articulate the measurable value of sustainability today.
Anyone is welcome to join the Communities of Practice - self-organizing networks of higher education sustainability advocates formed around specific topics of interest. All you need is a free AASHE account!
