  • Sustainability

    At the University of Oregon, learning about sustainability is just half of the equation—the university also focuses on preparing green professionals who can put their sustainability training to use in the real world. On the academic front, UO’s environmental studies department, public policy department, Lundquist College of Business, and School of Architecture and Allied Arts, all offer classes and curricula focused on sustainability. Additionally, Oregon now offers a new Leadership in Sustainability graduate certificate. When it comes to real-world application, the campus is home to four annual student-run conferences that focus on green business practices, green design, environmental racism, and environmental law and policy. The Sustainability Leadership Program provides professional development workshops for mid-career professionals. The University of Oregon, a member of the Founding Circle of the “Billion Dollar Green Challenge,” requires all new buildings be LEED GOLD-certified and offset their energy needs with an equivalent amount of conservation elsewhere on campus. The career center also maintains an up-to-date database of both local and national environment-related jobs. UO’s nationally recognized Sustainable Cities Initiative brings together ten academic departments, twenty-eight courses, and 500 students to help transform Oregon’s cities into twenty-first century models of sustainability. The university is an ACUPCC signatory and has developed a Climate Action Plan. The administration has also committed to pursue LEED certification for all new buildings, and the campus recycling program currently diverts an impressive 52 percent the university’s total waste from landfills. In the sciences, green chemistry has been integrated throughout the curriculum and provides opportunities for students to design materials of the future in both nanotechnology and inorganic chemistry.
