Sustainability Strategic Plan | Climate Action

As a 2007 Charter Signatory of the American College and University Presidents' Climate Commitment, we are proud of our early leadership and bold commitment to climate neutrality. We have significantly reduced our net contributions to global warming and recognize we need to take new steps to balance our commitment to climate neutrality with a growing and expanding global engagement.
