with sustainability.”
The college’s comprehensive approach to sustainability includes incorporating lessons inside and outside classrooms, plans toward increasingly incorporating green energy sources and outreach through efforts like Sustainability Week.
The college was recognized for its biological field station at Rice Creek, Climate Action Plan, use of green cleaning products, sustainability research, multiple student groups
working on and advocating for environmental solutions and its policy of LEED Green design for any new construction.
