We are the heart and soul of sustainability,
where humanity and nature connect.
Our Sustainability Strategy
A sustainable world is a diverse, safe, healthy, and just world for all planetary life while living within a thriving environment that is ecologically viable over the long term. The College of the Liberal Arts Sustainability Council has three tenets of focus that help the College achieve this goal.
Operations
We provide recommendations for how the College can responsibly use natural resources, care for the planet, and work with efforts led by the Sustainability Institute.
Resources that facilitate each of these efforts can be found through our Events or Opportunities pages and on the pages for research, education, and involvement.
