  • Sustainability

    Montclair State University (MSU) became the first university in the nation to sign a Memorandum of Understanding with the Environmental Protection Agency. The agreement commits MSU to incorporating green policies and activities into all university planning and operations, including the use of green building, alternative energy, large-scale recycling, and environmental conservation. MSU also launched the PSEG Institute for Sustainability Studies, with a grant from the PSEG Foundation. The Institute helps train the next generation of scientists and decision-makers in interdisciplinary research, education, and outreach curriculum to address sustainability issues and serves as a resource for local, state, and federal agencies and the community. University Hall is already LEED-certified and all new buildings are require to seek LEED Silver. The Student Recreation Center and the John J. Cali School of Music are in the process of becoming certified. MSU instituted a campus-wide recycling program and built in mandatory use of green products into its recently awarded housekeeping contract (more than 94 percent of products used are Green Seal-certified). MSU is advancing the cause of environmental sustainability by offering the only doctoral program in environmental management in the state of New Jersey; hosting the Passaic River Institute dedicated to the clean-up and study of the Passaic River; and having the first aerobic food composter on a college campus in New Jersey. MSU also has a 100-kilowatt solar field at its New Jersey School of Conservation at Stokes State Forest and is constructing a 200-kilowatt solar field on campus that will provide electricity for a residence hall. MSU’s career guidance offers counseling for students interested in green jobs, linking students with service learning and co-op internship opportunities that incorporate a green experience.
