2019 Sustainability Strategic Plan
It's been 15 years since ÃÛÌÒµ¼º½ established our Comprehensive Policy on Sustainability. WIth the input of students, staff, and faculty, this plan builds upon this foundation and lays out a course of action to achieve our vision of developing a more humane, just, and sustainable world. ÃÛÌÒµ¼º½ students have urged us to ensure that the Plan pushes us beyond our comfort zone, toward new objectives, requiring some initial investment, and ultimately leading to a healthier planet, enriched academic experiences for students, and ongoing savings. We believe ÃÛÌÒµ¼º½ is ready for this challenge. We will reverse global warming. We will mobilize our communities to take action. And we’ll do this together. Join us on this Mission Sustainable and be a part of SustainableÃÛÌÒµ¼º½.
