  • Sustainability

    In 2012, Pennsylvania’s Lehigh University finalized its first Campus Sustainability Plan, which was born out of extensive research and discussion among students, faculty, and administrators. The Plan analyzes sustainability growth opportunities and sets measurable goals in nine key areas: land use, climate and energy, dining services, purchasing, academics, community building, transportation, waste, and water. In addition, Lehigh cultivates the Eco-Rep program, a unique peer-to-peer education program oriented around teaching students in residential halls about sustainability practices. Since its inception the program has expanded from two residential halls to fourteen dorms and eleven Greek houses. For entering students, the university offers a three-day pre-orientation program, SustainabLEHIGH, that builds “a strong foundation for future leadership in green and sustainable initiatives at Lehigh” though biking, camping, farming, and more. Lehigh invites students to imagine creative environmental solutions with its GreenFund, which awards one-time grants of up to $2,000 to students who propose projects to improve sustainability on campus. Single-stream recycling collection is available in all residence halls, Greek houses, office and academic buildings, and throughout campus. But Lehigh also offers more eclectic green opportunities. November is Energy Conservation Month; the school supports several collaborative community gardens; annually the school hosts a RecycleMania competition; and students can join extracurricular groups like beekeeping, permaculture, and environmental science. Academic programs that address sustainability include the sciences; chemical, civil, environmental and energy engineering; materials science and engineering; environmental studies, international environmental policy, science and environmental writing, and sustainable development.
