  • Sustainability

    Kenyon College’s strong sense of community and commitment to interdisciplinary study marry well with the fundamentally global questions explored in the study of sustainability. But Kenyon’s commitment to the environment goes beyond an academic ethic. The college’s Food for Thought program provides students with the opportunity to develop intellectual and practical knowledge regarding the region’s food and farming systems. The Brown Family Environmental Center is another experientially focused initiative on campus that provides students and the surrounding community with opportunities to study regional organisms and habitats in an effort to help conserve the environmental heritage of the Kokosing River Valley. The center worked with the Environmental Campus Organization (ECO), a student-run club, to recharge the school’s recycling program by improving the number and placement of recycling bins on campus. Kenyon’s Library and Information Services (LBIS) is exploring many different ways to reduce the environmental impact of the school’s technology infrastructure. The college has recently purchased two Global Electric Motorcars for use by maintenance staff, a reduction in cost from $10 to $0.10 per day! Kenyon has created a dining hall composting system that diverts 6,000 pounds of waste from the landfill per week, and representatives from Kenyon’s environmentally-focused student groups have helped complete an energy audit of the campus and calculate its greenhouse gas inventory. A new organization, Kenyon Green Alumni, was founded to connect students interested in green careers with opportunities and mentors in the field. And don’t forget the classroom— the Kenyon Certificate Program in ecological agriculture is aimed at providing “practical knowledge regarding food and farming systems.”
