Center for Sustainable Development
VISION: We envision a CofC community developing and implementing innovative and equitable solutions to the challenges that threaten the sustainability of our global society.
MISSION: The CSD empowers the campus community to rethink, redesign and restore ethically-centered human and ecological systems.
We accomplish our mission by:
1.) Assessing and reporting on the state of sustainability.
2.) Guiding the implementation of the College's Sustainability Action Plan.
3.) Supporting and collaborating with other departments / divisions to achieve campus sustainability goals and behavior change through consultation on programs, projects and events, education, training and partnerships.
4.) Providing students with skills and experience to make change for sustainability.
The Center for Sustainable Development building (at 207 Calhoun St.) is currently undergoing renovations. We are still here, but our availability or access to programs may be limited. Please email us at sustainability@cofc.edu if you have any questions!
