Mission
The Mission of the Environmental Impact & Sustainability Committee is to integrate the economic, social and environmental principles of sustainability throughout the curriculum and operations of the college, and to help the college respond to changing local, state and national requirements for public institutions. As we practice the ways of sustainability, our students will see the relevance, develop an understanding and develop strong values for the area.
