Example Success Stories
Success stories are a vital piece of the Environmental Excellence Awards. Not only do narratives that demonstrate concise and complete stories with outcomes contribute to three of the four application scoring frameworks, but stories also give applicants like you an opportunity to highlight achievements and wins on your sustainability journey.
To help you fill out your application this year, we’re highlighting some great examples from the 2024 Environmental Excellence Awards.

Mayo Clinic hosted Ada Limón, Poet Laureate of the United States and MacArthur Fellow, at a public Humanities in Medicine event for a poetry reading. During the event, Limón reflected on how poetry builds connections between people, the natural world, and each other. She also shared and discussed her poem Startlement, featured in the Fifth National Climate Assessment.
