  • Sustainability

    “Reduce, Reuse, Recycle, ReTHINK” is the mantra of Agnes Scott’s sustainability commitment. Agnes Scott has shown an impressive dedication to sustainability as a charter signatory of the ACUPCC and by achieving an AASHE Stars Silver rating. In the past few years, Agnes Scott has: completed its third greenhouse gas emissions inventory, installed four solar arrays equaling almost a one fourth megawatt of power through the Georgia Power’s buyback program, and included a hybrid-geothermal HVAC system in the newly-renovated Campbell Hall. Campbell Hall is expected to receive LEED Gold certification in 2015. Nearly 50 percent of the campus buildings have undergone an energy-related retrofit in the past three years! In 2011, Agnes Scott became a member of the Founding Circle of the “Billion Dollar Green Challenge,” which encourages the college and university community to invest a total of $1 billion in self-managed revolving funds that finance energy efficiency improvements. The college is currently updating a Climate Action Plan. Agnes Scott has a beautiful campus arboretum and is designated as a Tree Campus USA and received honorable mention as a Bike Friendly Campus. Agnes Scott promotes student awareness of sustainability issues through presentations at its Spring Annual Research Conference, and the environmental and sustainability studies minor. Possible internships include on-campus environmental/sustainability efforts and local environmental organizations, such as Southface (an Atlanta organization promoting sustainable homes, workplaces, and communities) or the National Wildlife Federation. Students pursuing this minor may also complete a summer internship elsewhere in the United States, or abroad, to further develop the “think globally, act locally” philosophy that is so vital to the sustainability movement.
