Sustainability

Applications for spring 2018, summer 2018 and academic year 2018-2019 internships and Eco-Rep positions are open until Friday, March 30.

This new program at Elon is part of an effort to build upon the university's sustainable campus initiatives and further reduce energy consumption. 

The annual waste-reduction competition runs through March 2, with participants earning rewards for adopting habits that reduce landfill waste. 

A group of students participating in the Winter Term program The Call of South Africa write about the effort to offset the environmental impact of international travel by planting trees at the University of Cape Town.

As part of the project, more than 100 trees were planted along the Greensboro Greenway to increase urban tree canopy.

Elon students, faculty and staff are invited to help plant trees along the Greensboro Greenway on Dec. 2 from 11 a.m. to 3 p.m.

Running strong in its 10th year, the program will aid yet another diverse group of faculty in integrating sustainability into new and existing courses across campus.

The annual festival by the Elon University Garden Studio Class is now in its ninth year and will be held at the Elon Community Garden.

The fall semester competition challenged Elon students, faculty, and staff to reduce energy use.

This guided tour includes visits to the solar farm, responsible design studio and agricultural farm.
