E08 Podcast: In Conversation - Green IT Initiatives

Created by Gerry Bayne (EDUCAUSE) on April 14, 2009

This twenty-three minute podcast features a conversation recorded at the EDUCAUSE 2008 Annual Conference. The topic is Green IT. Our discussion participants include:

  • Robin L. Anderson, Director of Customer Communications, The Pennsylvania State University
  • Fran White, Director, Center for Teaching, Learning, and Technology, Goucher College

Supporting our institutions’ sustainability efforts and responses to climate change will be a key role for higher education IT in the decades to come. Community awareness education and engagement are critical when dealing with IT-affiliated waste. This discussion will include successful recycling strategies from an institutional perspective, student-driven efforts, and how to handle other waste generated by the pervasive presence of IT on campus.

Information Technology Services (ITS) at Penn State has implemented several green IT initiatives, including telecommuting and alternative work schedules, technology trade-in recycling and eco-delivery efforts, and web-based desktop technology for online meetings. ITS also is partnering with other university organizations to aggressively promote an environmental stewardship awareness campaign.
