  • Sustainability

    “Learn. Lead. Conserve.” These three words form an unofficial motto for the University of Dayton. Just like the institution itself—the largest private university in Ohio— Dayton’s efforts in the field of sustainability are momentous. And just like the students, faculty, and staff who inhabit the historic university, they produce results. Take for example Dayton’s commitment to waste reduction. Employees recently moved into the impressive LEED-certified GE EPISCenter or Electrical Power Integrated Systems Center. On campus, tankless hot water heaters, optimized HVAC equipment in buildings, and a student behavior change campaign are all parts of a campus-wide effort to reduce energy use. Student involvement is an essential ingredient. The Sustainability Club educates the community and raises money for community causes. River Stewards care for the Great Miami River corridor. Participants in ETHOS lend their unique skillsets to sustainable development projects, such as solar cookers and wood dryers in developing countries. Dayton emphasizes accountability. Take Energy GPA — an innovative initiative where some students receive a monthly statement detailing their energy use, complete with tips to conserve and a historical comparison. Hard work, ambition, and vast intellectual talent—things you’ll find at Dayton regularly—intersect via sponsored research in virtually all areas of energy, as well as the sustainability major and minor. Plus, Dayton’s renewable and clean energy master’s program is the only program of its kind in the state!
