Mission Statement
Our mission is to integrate sustainability into all aspects of campus life by:
-
Educating students, faculty, staff, and the community about environmental, social, and economic issues;
-
Promoting environmental awareness and responsibility in personal and institutional choices; and
-
Inspiring innovative environmental solutions, behavioral changes, and ethical stewardship of the natural world.
To accomplish these goals, we have adopted the Natural Step framework for achieving sustainability.
