Mission
Sustainability Studies Program (SSP; organization chart) spawns experiential learning, research, and service activities to implement practical solutions for a sustainable future on campus, the bioregion, and the planet. Sustainability Studies integrates knowledge and methodologies from the Sciences, Humanities, and Arts to provide a roadmap for students that can be applied to the design, selection, and implementation of policies, practices, technologies, and strategies. Sustainability Studies provides a dynamic feedback loop of information and practice.
We take inspiration from the Earth Charter.
We recommend these books.
