A brief description of the institution’s sustainability partnerships with the local community:
Our vision for sustainability extends beyond our campus borders. We bring our sustainability solutions and thinking to partners in our own region, state, nation and globe and particularly those in need.
Our students and researchers turn their microscopes and pens towards the community, working in places like Hickory Woods and the West Side of Buffalo to assist communities struggling with legacies of toxic pollution, or those that are looking to create a more sustainable tomorrow.
We played a leadership role in the creation of and continue to be engaged with the Western New York Environmental Alliance (WNYEA), an organization that brings together over 90 environmental organizations in the region. We are connecting our students and researchers with these organizations to create greater synergy within our community on sustainability and climate issues.
