Mission

The mission of The President's Council for a Sustainable Future at Keene State College is to affirm the beliefs that college faculty, staff, administration and students have a responsibility to take a leadership role in conducting activities as responsible stewards of the environment.

Through role-modeling as a college-wide proactive learning community and by serving as an interdisciplinary resource group, the Council will strive to support educational and institutional activities that promote environmental awareness and stewardship though local action and global thinking.

Fall 2011 meetings will be held October 28 (2-3 pm), November 4 (2-3 pm), November 18 (1-2pm), December 2 (2-3 pm) and December 16 (1-2 pm). They are open to the campus community.

Meetings are held in the Student Center, room 309.
