GC OFFICE OF SUSTAINABILITY
Georgia College is committed to the stewardship of its resources, including the campus physical environment. The Georgia College campus sustainability mission is to effectively and efficiently manage natural, physical and financial resources through social, environmental and economic responsibility and provide leadership and coordination of sustainability initiatives throughout the campus community with education, research and engagement. With greater awareness of the environmental challenges that affect us locally and globally, Georgia College has renewed its commitment to taking stock of its own environmental impact and exploring ways in which the university community can enhance the environmental of our campus. The main point of contact for sustainability at Georgia College is the Office of Sustainability. Housed in Facilities Management, the office serves to monitor, analyze, and promote projects that help the campus to conserve resources, promote sustainable behaviors, and educate our campus and the surrounding community. Georgia College has been recognized by the U.S. Department of Education as a Green Ribbon School for its postsecondary sustainability efforts and leadership in facilities, health, and environmental stewardship. Georgia College is additionally recognized as a Bronze institution by AASHE, the leading association for the advancement of sustainability in higher education.*
