Sustainability Pathway
Coordinator: Holly Jones
Whether you know it or not, you've been hearing about the responsible use of resources for quite a while: "Turn off the lights when you're not in your room," "Don't leave the water on when you're brushing your teeth." Or our favorite, "Money doesn't grow on trees."
No matter what you choose to study, your resources (time, money and environmental) will be limited. As you prepare for your career, learning how to plan, and put into practice, methods for responsible use of resources will help give you an edge in the market as a thoughtful and efficient professional. And as a generation of thoughtful professionals, you'll help societies reach and maintain an optimal level of sustainability.
