Oikos / Net Impact
The College created the oikos Kent student
organization in fall 2017 because of its focus on
the SDGs. Oikos Kent participated in events such as Global
Goals Week and the 2018 Kent State University Earth Day
event. However, there was little oikos chapter activity to link
to elsewhere in the United States. Chapter members opted to
return to a Net Impact chapter in fall 2018.
Business in the News
Starting in fall 2016, faculty members teaching
in the BBA program received weekly emails
covering a current business event. Faculty were asked to spend
a few minutes presenting and discussing these news items
from the perspective of their discipline. In academic year
2017-2018, emails also indicated the relevant SDGs to help
faculty incorporate sustainable development topics into their
discussions. Digital displays throughout the building promoted
the weekly article with relevant SDG icons.
