 My name is Alexandra Hinecker and I am the Director of Sustainability Initiatives at Carnegie Mellon University. As part of my role linking students, faculty, and staff across the campus to sustainability efforts, I heard from them that the most important thing was to be able to be connected to different parts of the university to which they usually didn't have access. And the natural place to go for that sort of information was libraries. And when I talked to libraries, I learned about their efforts to connect research throughout the university, very much in line with what I heard that students, faculty, and staff wanted from what our work, from the work that we were doing. So I immediately thought it would be great to partner with them to both help different parts of the university connect to each other and lift up the great work that everyone is doing on sustainability at CMU. As part of our efforts through the sustainability initiative to understand what professors are doing in their research, in their teaching activities, and in their practice, we're working with people throughout the seven colleges to ensure that it's uploaded to elements and that we can identify the links between what they're doing and the sustainable development goals so that both internal partners like students and staff who are interested in learning about research from different parts of the university and external funding partners have easier access to information about what CMU community members are doing for sustainability. One thing I've heard consistently from students, faculty, staff, and external partners that I work with here in Pittsburgh, across the country and around the world is that they want to know what our CMU community is doing on the range of 17 sustainable development goals that cover everything from poverty and hunger to good health and well-being, peaceful justice and strong institutions, reducing inequalities, and of course climate action. There's so much great work going on across CMU, but it's hard to pull out all of that information and share it with all of these different people who are interested in collaboration. Elements is a way for people to quickly access information about what people are doing so that they can learn more, they can partner on research activities, they can identify funding opportunities, and they can help contribute to finding solutions to some of the world's greatest challenges that are outlined in the 17 sustainable development goals.
