Full Episode "If higher education institutions engage with the SDGs and focus on different areas, this is where the value lies. The value is in providing knowledge, educating students, and expanding awareness of the SDGs as an important point.
Full Episode: Topics Covered 1. Using SDGs to Revolutionize International Education Strategy 2. Challenges and Triumphs in Aligning SDGs with Institutional Strategy 3. The Role of Community Engagement and Partnerships
(2:58 Video) Importance of SDGs in Transforming Higher Education for Global Sustainable Development
(2:52 Video) Impact of SDGs in Transforming International Education and Research Collaborations "There are many other ways to think about how research from higher education is already contributing to the SDGs. Areas such as climate, poverty, infrastructure, water, and energy are all critical to achieving the SDGs and are also key areas of knowledge production, which is very important." —JOANNA REGULSKA
(1:08 Video) Enhancing the Value of Higher Education Through SDG Integration "In many ways, higher education is at an inflection point. We need to transform this sector to engage more effectively with pressing issues.

(6:09 Video) Implementing SDGs in Higher Education to Empower Institution’s Identity and Mission
(3:16 Video) Aligning International Comprehensive Strategies with SDGs Through Effective Collaboration "Faculty are critical to efforts directly related to SDGs such as offering SDG grants to faculty so they can start projects and engage. In our bilateral relationships with other institutions, we focus on seed grant money for SDGs, or vice versa. Regardless of the research programs or proposals, faculty must articulate the SDGs that will be advanced. This is not extra, yet we are advancing SDGs by amplifying and articulating them." —JOANNA REGULSKA
(3:39 Video) Practical Steps in Implementing SDGs for Institutions "In the book, we actually show step-by-step what needs to be done. We need specific champions in different groups we are working with, such as champions among faculty, students, and institutional leadership. The key is building institutional support and pushing for integration in this strategic direction.
(1:16 Video) Highlighting the Role of Professional Staff in Advancing SDGs "There’s been much less attention on the professional staff in higher education institutions. However, we’re seeing an emerging interest in the SDGs as an area of professional competency and development. Professional staff certainly play a crucial role in these institutions." —JOLYNN SHOEMAKER
(1:37 Video) Start Slow, Build Holistically: Embrace Complexity and Partnerships for Organizational Growth "Start slow, but move holistically. Choose something where you can start and grow, but you must not just focus on one thing; you need to consider the complexity. You must have a multi-faceted strategy to reinforce the message with different audiences at different moments in time because otherwise, you’ll create a silo, and a silo is not holistic.
