Sustainability at SCU

The Center for Sustainability empowers SCU students, faculty, and staff to build a more humane, just, and sustainable world.

We host events and programs, implement initiatives, provide strategic consultation, and share stories that help the University achieve climate neutrality, practice mindful consumption, develop a culture of sustainability and use the campus as a living laboratory.

Racial Justice Now

SCU's Environmental Justice and the Common Good Initiative shares resources to help us learn about major contributions that African-American communities have made to the environmental and climate action movements as well as suggestions to support and participate in racial justice organizing.
