  • Sustainability

    The Bucknell Center for Sustainability and the Environment engages students, faculty, and staff in promoting sustainability awareness and demonstrating best practices in social and environmental sustainability. The Center supports student and faculty research on a broad range of sustainability related topics; ; provides guidance and leadership to sustainability courses and projects; and supports outreach activities at the local, regional, state, and national levels. An annual sustainability symposium engages the university community in new sustainability themes and discussions each year. The campus Master Plan embraces sustainable principles, including creating a more pedestrian-friendly campus, reconnecting campus to the Susquehanna River, and restoring the campus stream, Miller Run. An intensive summer program called “Bucknell on the Susquehanna” gets students out into the environment to learn about the regional watershed. Bucknell has also adopted alternative and renewable energy sources beginning with its transition in 1998 from a conventional coal-burning power plant to a co-generation power plant fueled by cleaner-burning natural gas, resulting in a 40 percent reduction of GHG emissions. Students get their hands dirty with some clean and green infrastructure, as three green roofs, four photovoltaic arrays, and a wind turbine are used in educational programming. The Career Development Office provides guidance on green jobs and connects students to alumni in environmental career fields. The Bucknell Environmental Club heads a wide variety of student-centered sustainability activities, and a the Bucknell Green Fund turns student proposals into completed projects with both economic and environmental benefits.
