Center for Sustainable Processes and Practices

 
Research and Education

We aim to be a living laboratory of sustainability, with our efforts at research and education fully integrated with the community around us.

Our sustainability research is focused into four areas: the integration of human societies and the natural environment; creating sustainable urban communities; implementing sustainability and mechanisms of change; and measuring sustainability. Click here to read more about the four focus areas.

We try to help our students understand the principles of sustainability no matter what field of study they choose. Sustainability is taught not as a separate topic, but integrated into most disciplinary majors and our general education requirements.
