Why study Sustainability with us?

At CLC, we practice what we preach. We’re a national leader in campus sustainability efforts, and our initiatives range from green buildings to expanded learning opportunities for our students, faculty and staff members, and neighbors. Our work is broad and ongoing, and it’s guided by a Sustainability Plan (PDF) with clear goals and metrics. See how we’re doing through our annual Performance Report (PDF).

As a CLC student, you can help guide our important work with your energy, feedback and on-campus involvement. Consider joining the Sustainability Club as you grow in your education and prepare to be a leader in your field.

Sustainability is an emerging branch of science. Begin your work in this field at a college that shares your concerns.
