Sustainability

Vassar is responding to the existential crises of climate change and the destruction of nature by pursuing energy decarbonization, reducing the negative impacts of College operations, and preparing our students with the insight, skills, and confidence they need to lead the way to a sustainable and just future.

Upcoming Events

A large poster titled "Tree Stories" is displayed prominently, featuring images of leaves and tree-related information. Two individuals are engaged with the poster, one wearing a bright red jacket and the other in a green and gray outfit. The background consists of wooden paneling, and the space is illuminated by soft, natural light. Various leaf cutouts are attached to the board, along with printed materials discussing tree history and a local tree museum.

Do you love trees? Why? What’s your favorite tree? What’s your tree story? Between November 7 and 21, add your contribution to one of the large Tree Stories boards, found in Gordon Commons, College Center, the Bridge, and the Athletics and Fitness Center.

Campus community only, please.
