Climate Action Plan

I am pleased to offer words of introduction to the College‟s Climate Action Plan. Since choosing to be a charter signatory on the President‟s Climate Commitment, Centre College has moved in very positive directions with regard to sustainability and the manner in which we treat our environment. Professor Preston Miles and his broad-based committee have worked hard to create a Climate Action Plan that makes sense for this institution and capitalizes on the College‟s leadership in this aspect of community life. Centre College, in more recent years, has become a regional and even national leader among liberal arts colleges with regard to environmental concerns. We have some distance to travel, of course, and this Plan moves us decidedly in that direction. I invite you to read this Plan and find ways in which you might contribute to its success. And, while I believe that sending informed and responsible citizens forth each spring as Centre graduates remains our highest calling, the work that we can do as a collective here at the College is also valued
