Berea College’s mission includes a long-standing commitment that we engage in good stewardship of our natural, human and material resources. To that end, we are moving aggressively to transform our College into a sustainable campus that meets its educational and community goals without degrading the ecological, social, and economic systems on which our region and all of our futures depend.

-Larry Shinn, President, Berea College

Berea College is taking a three-pronged approach to becoming a sustainable campus with changes to its physical plant, operations, and curriculum. All three tracks are integrated to maximize experiential learning opportunities during planning and implementation, and afterwards as students, staff and faculty live and work in a sustainable community.
