At Dickinson, sustainability is much more than putting bottles and cans in recycling bins or turning off lights when you leave a room (although we do those things, too!). Sustainability is a mindset that permeates the curriculum, extracurricular activities, the residential experience, facilities, campus operations and more. And Dickinson has been recognized as a national leader among liberal-arts institutions for this commitment. In 2007, President William G. Durden '71 signed the American College and University Presidents' Climate Commitment. Dickinson is one of only five colleges in the country to achieve three national designations. It was recognized as an Overall College Sustainability Leader in the 2010 Green Report Card, earning an A- for the second year in a row; was designated as a "Cool School" by Sierra magazine and as one of America's greenest colleges in Sierra's Comprehensive Guide to the Most Eco-Enlightened U.S. Colleges; and was given the highest possible score (99) on The Princeton Review's Green Honor Roll.
