Lafayette is in an exciting time of growth on the sustainability front at the moment. Sustainability is now one of the school’s main values, we are hiring a sustainability director, and the school even now has a sustainability page on the website! In addition to all of this, one of the five modules of the Connected Communities Program (CCP) relates to sustainability and environmentalism. This module was designed by the EVST capstone class.

Students will have the opportunity to participate in large events surrounding Earth Day starting this April with the kickoff of the module, work towards the ECO certificate (similar to the Intercultural Competency Certificate) and participate in various other programing, including a pre-orientation camping trip prior to arriving on campus.

The module, named Greening Lafayette, is being launched this April. More can be learned about Greening Lafayette on this website. Additionally, members of the Lafayette community can join our page on LAFSync, or ‘like’ us on Facebook to stay in the loop!
