Sustainability at Southwestern
Southwestern Oregon Community College is dedicated to creating and supporting sustainability through action and education.
We believe in the three common attributes of sustainability: Economic, environmental, and social. We also recognize the importance of sustaining our traditions, values, people and knowledge.
We can continue to take steps toward a more sustainable educational district by:
- Reducing use
- Improving efficiencies
- Reusing resources
- Enhancing quality
- Valuing people
- Seeking partnerships
- Recognizing our traditions
- Documenting our knowledge
We are committed to teaching ourselves, our students, and our communities new and improved ways to sustain our college and surrounding communities—by leading by example.
