The Sustainability Summer Series is a chance to learn more about SCU’s sustainability programs. Each session is about 1 hour throughout the months of July and August and involves a behind-the-scenes view of a specific campus initiative. Sessions will explore initiatives such as SCU’s waste stream, landscaping/water, the Forge Garden, and renewable energy initiatives.
