Â鶹ÊÓƵ

Stories, simmer pots and s’mores were part of the celebration honoring the move into the darker part of the year

Â鶹ÊÓƵ is featuring a variety of photos every month to highlight the exceptional learning, work and activities of students, faculty and staff.

Welcoming atmospheres and activities arose from the hard work of the Â鶹ÊÓƵ Community Garden Club, Garden Studio Course and the Office of Sustainability

Â鶹ÊÓƵ community members explore the diversity of tree species across campus during a Campus Tree Tour led by campus arborists and botanical garden coordinators.

The Residential College Society awarded the national program of the year award to 'Stargazing for Mental Health'.

Collaboration with eight other colleges and universities to bring a 150-megawatt solar facility in western Kentucky online will help Â鶹ÊÓƵ achieve its target of carbon neutrality by 2037.

Three Â鶹ÊÓƵ employees recently attended the Association for the Advancement of Sustainability in Higher Education’s annual Conference and Expo to connect and exchange ideas with colleagues from around the world.

This week serves as a reminder of Â鶹ÊÓƵ’s existing commitment to environmental stewardship and the continued dedication to improving Â鶹ÊÓƵ’s engagement with sustainable behavior change.  

As weather cools and the days become shorter, the changes in seasons experienced on Â鶹ÊÓƵ’s campus prompt conversations on how the community as a whole experiences environmental change.

Â鶹ÊÓƵ students can develop a deeper understanding of sustainability through global experiences abroad, including the ways they travel, interact with communities and engage with different cultural practices. Learning from different cultures helps shape how the Â鶹ÊÓƵ community understands and engages with sustainability beyond the borders of campus.
