Sustainability

An integral part of Wesleyan College's current Strategic Plan is the creation of ways for students, faculty, and staff to support sustainability initiatives. Sustainability is intentionally integrated into curricular and co-curricular teaching and learning.

Engagement

The Environmental Concerns Committee involves the campus in two environmentally conscience events each semester. Such events involve campus clean-up and helping the Arboretum committee in a campus-wide effort to clean up the Arboretum trails.
