Campus sustainability efforts at Appalachian are a ‘win-win-win,’ garner Appalachian top rankings from AASHE and SIERRA magazine

Sep. 14, 2018

We like to say sustainability is in our DNA at Appalachian State University. And while that’s true, it is also a conscious effort driven by the university’s strategic plan, fostered by an Office of Sustainability, included in the academic curriculum and sustained by students. Appalachian’s leadership in sustainability is known nationally. Its holistic, three-branched approach asks members of the Appalachian Community to consider if actions are sustainable economically, environmentally and equitably in relationship to our planet’s co-inhabitants.
