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 March 2018, Connecticut College received a Silver rating from the Association for the Advancement of Sustainability in Higher Education AASHE STARS.
