  • Sustainability

    The oldest member of the Minnesota State Colleges and Universities System, Winona State University’s mission is to cultivate “a community of learners improving our world.” The university has implemented a tobacco-free policy to enhance the overall health of the campus community. Importantly, WSU signed the ACUPCC and created a campus wide Climate Commitment Committee. The university’s Climate Action Plan was released soon thereafter, committing WSU to becoming climate neutral by 2050. Moreover, the university partnered with private industry to complete a $1.6 million Guaranteed Energy Savings Contract, which installed energy saving facility upgrades across the campus. The utility costs savings from the project will be used to pay the equipment procurement costs. Winona State’s award-winning Integrated Wellness Complex achieved LEED Gold. The university opened a pilot academic theme house that will create a positive learning environment for students with the shared interest of sustainability. In addition, the university is pursuing sustainability initiatives in a variety of other areas, including academics, transportation, and waste management. Winona State’s new interdisciplinary sustainability minor provides students with an overview of the fundamentals of sustainability while also giving them an opportunity to gain in-depth knowledge in specific areas of study. The university has cultivated a bicycle-based community, has established a popular on-campus bike sharing program and student-run bike repair station, and sponsors an official Rideboard through the university Facebook page. Waste minimization efforts are aided by easily accessible recycling stations for food and paper waste and an event recycling system for indoor and outdoor use. Finally, student government also supports sustainability on campus, introducing and passing a one degree thermostat setback initiative.
