ANGLES Feature

ANGLES: A Network for Graduate Leadership in Sustainability is a network of over 20 universities committed to increasing sustainability leadership training for graduate students that is administratively housed by CSU SoGES. In February 2024 eleven ANGLES institutions met in Denver, CO at the CSU-SPUR campus to develop our strengths as a network and give future sustainability experts the training they need to have a meaningful impact on global socio-environmental challenges. Over three days, ANGLES discussed how to leverage expertise to improve existing approaches to leadership education as well as develop new programs, provide access to training for students and universities without existing leadership programs, and train-the-trainers so university leaders can bring skills to their home universities. The network will pilot its first national workshop in Fall 2024, with a goal of broadening participation by 2025.
