As a charter signatory of the national Climate Leadership Commitment for colleges and universities and the We Are Still In declaration, Southern is committed to achieving net-zero carbon emissions in operations, and fostering climate resilience and sustainable practices on campus and as part of a broader community.
While we understand the urgency and scale required to meet these goals, we are proud of our progress and welcome efforts and energy of our entire campus community to participate.
Southern offers a variety of sustainability-focused academic programs, research, outreach, clubs, and internships. The Academic and Laboratory Science Building and the School of Business are LEED Gold certified for environmental design and performance, and all undergraduate students are eligible for the U-Pass and free access to Connecticut trains, buses, and small-town transit statewide.
