Sustainability

“To waste, to destroy our natural resources, to skin and exhaust the land instead of using it so as to increase its usefulness, will result in an undermining in the days of our children the very prosperity which we ought by right to hand down to them amplified and developed.”
- Theodore Roosevelt

Environmental and social responsibility is an important part of Mercyhurst College's mission. We're committed to educating our students and our community about living more green lifestyles to ensure a sustainable future. We encourage ongoing participation in recycling and energy conservation , offer a sustainability minor for students interested in enhancing their chosen major with an environmental focus, and provide the Mercyhurst community with several ways to get involved in sustainability projects, activities, and efforts.
