Salt Lake Community College
At Salt Lake Community College, students, faculty and staff
equally recognize the opportunity and the obligation to be good environmental
stewards.
The college has engaged in a comprehensive sustainability
campaign, including a college-wide recycling program that will reach one
million pounds of recycled materials in 2013, community gardens at various
campuses, clean natural gas operations in grounds and facilities,
LEED-certified buildings at the Jordan campus and the new instruction and
administration building at the Taylorsville-Redwood campus, and a Green
Academy, which is an academic entity that houses numerous programs in
alternative and renewable energy fields.
Courses in the Green Academy provide students with the
knowledge and skills to prepare them for emerging opportunities in green technologies.
SLCC instructors teach both the ideas relating to responsible environmental
stewardship and the practical skills needed to perform the work of making
communities sustainable.
“SLCC strives to be a leader in sustainability and the
responsible stewardship of resources in everything it does and in what it
teaches,” says Dave Jones, marketing manager. “The college has set its sights
on providing education and training that equips students with the understanding
and skills to perform jobs that will promote a sustainable future and with an
ethos of stewardship.”
