Description
The goals of the university-wide Sustainability Minor are 1. to prepare students to work skillfully to address social challenges, particularly those associated with environmental change, 2. to foster interactions and research collaborations across traditional academic disciplines, 3. to make St. Thomas more environmentally sustainable, and 4. to help promote sustainability in the broader community.
The Sustainability Minor brings together students, faculty, and staff from across the university to discuss and work on issues related to sustainability. It also serves as a foundation on which research and community service projects can be developed and connected.
