From glacier mapping in Austria to studying sustainable development in Palau, University of Redlands faculty and students are joining the global effort to improve environmental and economic sustainability.
While the university’s dedication to environmental education sends students to several continents, its commitment to sustainable living starts at home: In dorms, classrooms, its buildings and grassroots endeavors across campus.
- Students are spearheading an effort to turn campus food waste into compost—and share the material with local farmers.
- A new energy center helps provide most of the university's power, paving the way for a self-sustained campus.
- Students are making Merriam Hall the university’s first environmentally sustainable dorm.
- The Bon Appetit Management Company in the Irvine Commons supports local agriculture and artisans through its creative menu offerings.
“Our commitment to sustainability is an important way for the university to carry forward our traditional values into our second century.”
