Sustainability has emerged in recent years as a broad, integrative priority on DePauw’s campus, with leadership and support from all university stakeholder groups, including students, staff, faculty, parents, alumni, trustees and advisory boards. This green transition appears in many corners of Higher Education. DePauw’s sustainability initiatives seek to make our university a place that prepares all members of our academic community to participate in forming a just and sustainable future.
