Green Living

Connecticut College has been a national leader among colleges and universities in environmental issues for many years

Connecticut College is a residential college where students live for nine months every year. We have developed a system of shared governance between students, faculty, staff and the administration in an effort to create a model civil society.

In a similar way, we also have a tradition of operating the College as an environmental model. By initiating and implementing innovative policies and programs that promote environmental sustainability, we strive to set a good example. The hope is that upon leaving this campus, students will continue to consider the consequences of their actions, and continue to live in an environmentally sustainable fashion.
