Sustainability

“The nation behaves well if it treats the natural resources as assets which it must turn over to the next generation increased, and not impaired in value.”
- 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.
