Dickinson Joins Together with Others
Campus EcoChallenge 2021
Join Dickinson's Center for Sustainability Education (CSE) an ONLINE sustainability-focused behavior change challenge April 1-21, 2021. Whether you’re at home or on campus, the EcoChallenge provides a unique opportunity to put your sustainability skills in practice and will include a competition within Dickinson as well as a friendly competition amongst other college/university communities. EcoChallenge is a fun and social way to take measurable action on the issues you care about. With three weeks of commitment, learning and action can add up to a lifetime of positive change for you, others, and the planet!
We invite students, faculty, staff, alumni and families to make individual commitments and work towards a more sustainable lifestyle. EcoChallenge's platform is holistic, real-time, FREE, and allows participants to select the commitments they want to work on. EcoChallenge is 100% online, and offers unique, cutomizable opportunities for engagement during the pandemic. The combination of collective action, camaraderie, and friendly competition makes change a little easier — and a lot more fun. The EcoChallenge will culminate on Earth Day (April 22, 2021) when we can celebrate our results and positive change.

We believe this behavior-based commitment campaign can have huge impacts in higher education and want to work with you. We invite any institution of higher education to create a team and join us in the 2021 Campus EcoChallenge. It doesn't matter if you have a team of 5 or 5,000! It would be fun to compete April 1-21, 2021. We will offer a webinar to orient schools to the process, best practices, and marketing tools.
