SUSTAINING OUR MISSION

In the world of higher education, sustainability is multidimensional.

It’s ensuring that a college has the financial resources, business practices and academic programs to best serve students and carry out its mission.

It means adopting green initiatives that reduce the college’s impact on the environment, such as reducing stormwater runoff, and giving students the knowledge and tools to work for greater sustainability in all aspects of their lives.

It means creating a community that is welcoming and inclusive, where people feel that they matter and that they belong.

Read on to discover how Alverno is embracing sustainability in how we work, teach and learn. We hope you’ll be inspired to try some of these ideas in your own life.
