Debrief from town hall

• Student engagement: Students expressed interest in learning how to get involved. The council will ensure materials outlining engagement opportunities are available at future events.
• Transparency and communication: Suggestions included posting FAQs from the town hall and considering digital platforms (Mentimeter, FeedBeo) for collecting and upvoting questions at future engagements.
• Visibility: The council will explore hosting tables in high-traffic areas to increase faculty, staff and student engagement.
• Collaboration: The shared ownership of the town hall aligns with the council's goal of making sustainability feel like a collective effort, so they plan to maintain that inclusive approach.
