  • Sustainability

    The Sustainability Council at Creighton University is comprised of students, staff, and faculty and looks to “bring effective sustainability strategies and integrate the movement in what we teach, how we live and work, and extending this to daily lives.” They are also developing policy for the university, which includes constructing and remodeling to meet LEED-certified standards, building a robust recycling program, establishing a community garden for use by faculty, staff and students, and creating a funding source to support innovative, cost-saving sustainability initiatives. The university has since instituted a single-stream recycling program (and is a perennial participant in the RecycleMania competition) and undertaken a “clean green” initiative: 97 percent of cleaning products used on campus are Green Seal certified. Creighton has built a beta site for solar collection, which is used for educating both students and the community, as well generate plenty of electricity. For those students to get a more formal education in sustainability, Creighton University offers a major in Environmental Sciences and as well as two Energy Technology majors. The latter programs were funded by a $2.4 million investment from the Department of Energy for solar arrays and curriculum development, includes four new labs intended to encourage hands-on learning, reinforce mathematical and scientific concepts, computer simulations, design and rapid prototyping. A student environmental coalition, the “GreenJays,” was formed recently and is working on several initiatives.
