Sustainability at Columbia College Chicago: Going Beyond “Going Green”

Institutions of higher education have always been vital forces of change and innovation. Columbia is no exception. This is a place for future leaders and trendsetters to learn how to create change—and so, as we look to the future, our institution must create change as well: we have embraced sustainability as a key driver of transformation in the 21st century. We see this as not only a social responsibility, but as an opportunity to distinguish the college with a dynamic commitment to sustainability as a campus-wide, institutional community value.
