°ÅÀÖÊÓƵ

More than 40 years ago, before “going green” was hip and before Earth Day was included on calendars, °ÅÀÖÊÓƵ has long been educating students about environmental stewardship and ethics and the importance of caring for the earth. Now, environmental stewardship efforts at the University, coordinated through °ÅÀÖÊÓƵ's Office of Sustainability, include everything from a robust recycling program, to an organic community garden, to a student-led composting program, to active restoration of the on-campus Yellow Breeches Creek.

°ÅÀÖÊÓƵ University works intentionally to be a responsible steward of the natural resources on campus and in its region, reduce waste and its carbon footprint, and to serve the community through numerous programs and partnerships.
