Connecticut College strives to be a leader in sustainability among campuses nationwide.

At Connecticut College, sustainability is a framework by which long-lasting solutions to local and global challenges are developed through understanding the connections among social equity, environmental stewardship and economic wellbeing and including all three within all decision-making and strategic planning processes.

Current sustainability efforts include:

• Providing hands-on learning opportunities for students through the Sustainability Fellows program
• Working with faculty to integrate sustainability across the curriculum
• Educating the campus community on sustainable practices
• Collecting and analyzing campus sustainability data.

In July 2021, Connecticut College earned a Gold rating from the Sustainability, Tracking, Assessment and Rating System (STARS), a program of the Association for the Advancement of Sustainability in Higher Education (AASHE). Read our most recent report here.
