Environmental Education
From A Comprehensive Policy on Sustainability at Santa Clara University We seek to prepare our students by integrating sustainability into the goal of educating the whole person. We seek to support scholarship that advances our understanding and practice of sustainability. We recognize our role in educating the university community about the importance of both individual and institutional environmental responsibility.
