STUDENT SUSTAINABILITY GUIDE
The Siena Heights ’ Sustainable College Committee was established in the fall of 2013 to promote the concept and practice of sustainability into all college processes . As sustainability is not living in ideas alone , strategies are also needed to move towards greater sustainability in the maintenance and development of our Adrian campus . Some of these projects include a comprehensive recycling program , enhanced energy conservation and utilization of renewable energy sources , a poison-free campus environment ( e . g . no use of pesticides , fertilizer , petroleum tar , etc .), enriched foods in our cafeteria ( organically , locally , and humanely produced ), and the integration of SHU into the global community of environmentally- and socially-responsible universities . Since these projects are campus-wide , the Sustainable College Committee includes faculty and staff members from every major department , representatives of the administration , a number of students of various majors , and several Adrian Dominican Sisters .
