Sustainability Center
Sustainability at SMC
Campus sustainability provides students who want to experience the challenge of solving real-world problems with opportunities to apply their learning in ways that prepare them for future careers. We believe institutions of higher education should “educate students for character and citizenship as much for commerce and career.” Our mission to prepare students for global citizenship necessitates educating them in principles of sustainability and engaging them in a step-by-step process of implementing such principles on a daily basis. SMC strives to be a leader in campus sustainability, which can be found in everything we do from campus facilities and buildings to student life including classes and degrees.
