  • Sustainability

    At Franklin & Marshall, environmental stewardship and sustainability are addressed through the college’s academic programs in environmental science, geoscience, biology, environmental studies, and public policy. These interdisciplinary majors and programs offer opportunities for extensive student-faculty collaborative research, as well as participation in green living and learning initiatives at the Spalding and Millport Conservancies, the Wohlsen Center for the Sustainable Environment, and the Sustainability House. The Campus Sustainability Committee promotes sustainability initiatives on campus. The Environmental Speakers Series provides lectures throughout the year, and the Wohlsen Center runs a bicycle-sharing program as well as Sustainability Week each year. Dining halls are trayless, and all new facilities are required to seek LEED Silver certification or its equivalent. Recycling is available in all campus buildings. Sustainability House students live together in a residence featuring a solar energy array, low-flow water system, efficient lighting, used furniture and composting—all innovations suggested by the residents. The Environmental Action Alliance (a student club) runs a fair trade café, and its so-called “Dirt Army” grows organic produce at the school’s community garden. Franklin & Marshall students will be the future of environmental sustainability; a member of the faculty, former regional director of EPA, guides students to internships and jobs at the EPA. Faculty in Earth and Environment, as well as Biology, in consultation with Career Services and Alumni Programs, help place students in green graduate programs, internships, and jobs.
