SUSTAINABILITY at ÃÛÌÒÓ°Ïñ

Green space and gardens

Ecologically Viable. Economically Strong. Socially Just.

At ÃÛÌÒÓ°Ïñ, sustainability isn't just a trend. It's a commitment to a way of life.

More than 40 years ago, before “going green” was something cool, before Earth Day was included on calendars, and before sustainable living was considered important, ÃÛÌÒÓ°Ïñ was educating students about environmental stewardship and ethics. The University’s student-led environmental movement, Earthkeepers, and the start of campuswide recycling were both born from the popular "Humankind and the Environment" course.

That was just the beginning of ÃÛÌÒÓ°Ïñ’s ongoing commitment to caring for our earth. Now, environmental stewardship efforts at the University include a robust recycling program, an organic community garden, a student-led composting program as well as an active restoration of the on-campus Yellow Breeches Creek.
