Socially Just // Environmentally Respectful // Economically Sound

 

Academics

A sustainable world is a just world. Every department on campus has a course addressing sustainability topics. 

Sustainability Dashboard

The recent Sustainability Statement adopted by the Board of Regents calls for a detailed dashboard to track several of Sewanee's sustainability commitments. That dashboard is under construction and will be posted here soon. 

Transportation

Being a residential college provides much in the way of climate-saving reductions in emissions due to car travel. The Sewanee campus is relatively centralized, enabling students and residents to walk or bike with relative ease. 

Sewanee has two major transportation initiatives.

Sustain Sewanee aspires to create an inclusive atmosphere of collaborative and sustainable action, empower the Sewanee community, and build an equitable future together. Sustain Sewanee serves as a hub for student engagement around climate action and environmental justice. Additionally, this is where you can find data, updates, and information about the University's commitments, actions, and progress toward decarbonization via a wide variety of programs, projects, and initiatives.
