Practice of Sustainability

Dickinson Works to Solve Real World Problems

Dickinson’s Office of Campus Operations strives for sustainability in the management and design of the college’s physical facilities. Our motivations are multiple. Sustainable operations and facilities help to protect the environment and promote social and economic goals on our campus, in our community and in the wider world. They are, in a real sense, part of the curriculum of Dickinson, used as a Living Laboratory for modeling and testing strategies and solutions that are environmentally, socially and economically responsible. We are making progress, but recognize that we have much more to do.

Here are some of highlighted efforts to practice Sustainability at Dickinson:

Reducing Energy Consumption is A Campus Wide Effort
Dickinson Students and Staff Grow Food for Our Dining Services Program
 Our Commitment to Create Sustainable Buildings & Grounds
Waste Minimization & Diversion are Key Strategies Across Campus
 Students Work to Empower Communities to Assess, Protect, and Restore Watersheds
