Dickinson on the Move - Highlights of the Month
In his opening remarks at convocation, President William G. Durden '71 reaffirmed Dickinson's campuswide commitment to environmental sustainability. This committment takes a variety of forms, from energy conservation to recycling to bicycling. Fifty percent of the electricity used on campus now comes from wind power sources and solar panels above Kaufman Hall are generating electricity.
Another environmental initiative is the Dickinson College Farm, located in nearby Boiling Springs. Student volunteers help harvest vegetables, which are served in the dining hall and donated to a local food bank. Pennsylvania Agriculture Secretary Dennis Wolff visited the farm last month to learn about its use of alternative energy, including solar panels and biodiesel.
