The 2015 iCAP, chapter 12, objective 1 is, "Create a hub for the sustainability community: to develop a comprehensive online gateway for faculty, staff, students, potential donors, and all interested parties to find information about sustainability research, education, outreach, initiatives, and operations."
“One of the first recommendations that emerged from the visioning excellence exercise was the creation of an institute that would serve as a research and educational hub for environmental and sustainability initiatives for the entire campus community.” Chancellor Phyllis Wise [1]
To become the hub for sustainability, iSEE underwent a rebranding process to solidify its identity and create a strong, consistent image that will make iSEE a recognized world leader. The cornerstone of the new look is a revamped website intended to draw greater attention to the research, education, outreach, and campus sustainability work at Illinois. A cross-platform, more user-friendly interface encourages exploration and learning for potential donors, corporate partners, government entities, community members ̶ and of course current and prospective faculty, students, staff, scholars, researchers, and administrators.
