Engagement
VCU is fortunate to have community members with a passion for meaningful, sustainable change. Throughout the development of the ONE VCU Sustainability Plan, engagement consisted of numerous events and presentations, stakeholder interviews, meetings with community groups, and public surveys. The public was also invited to submit suggestions, feedback and questions via email at any time throughout the process. Each piece of feedback was then incorporated into the final ONE VCU Sustainability Plan.
