2021 AshokaU Exchange: Aligning higher education community engagement with the UN Sustainable Development Goals

17 Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) were adopted by all United Nations Member States in 2015 as a universal call to action to end poverty, protect the planet, and ensure that all people enjoy peace and prosperity by 2030. Higher education is uniquely positioned to respond to the 17 SDGs, particularly through the work faculty, staff, and students conduct alongside community partners to address pressing needs and respond to evolving challenges. This workshop will align partnership efforts with SDG progress to reify the strategic value of higher education community engagement and strengthen capacity to educate students on issues of global concern.
