DECI Faculty Breakfast with Mark Orlowski, April 24th
Mark Orlowski is Founder and Executive Director of the Susainable Endowments Institute, a nonprofit organization engaged in research and education to advance
sustainability in campus operations and endowment practices.
Mr. Orlowski heads a team that authors the Institute’s annual College Sustainability Report Card, which evaluates and grades key elements of sustainability at
United States and Canadian universities. The Report Card is designed to help schools learn from each other's experiences and adapt campus and endowment sustainability
policies that work.
He spent the morning with Drexel Engineering Cities Initiative, Drexel faculty, and students involved in Drexel’s Committee for Sustainability to discuss how the
Report Card was designed and how Drexel might use it as a tool to measure progress towards creating a more sustainable campus.
