The Center for Sustainability is where the Agnes Scott community learns about the challenges of global climate change, including climate and environmental justice. Our mission is to seek collaborations on innovative and equitable solutions for sustainability on and off campus.
The Center is staffed by an executive director, one sustainability fellow, interns, work-study students, and student volunteers. The current full-time staff are all Agnes Scott alums. We work with students, faculty, and staff on projects including:
- Climate action and climate resilience planning
- Energy and water efficiency upgrades
- Renewable energy installations
- Recycling and composting
- Environmental justice
- Maintenance of the campus arboretum and sustainable landscaping
- Student involvement and activities, including Environmental Residents in each residence hall
- Interdisciplinary curriculum initiatives, including a minor in environmental sustainability studies
