Sustainable Communities - A Green Tomorrow
This Forum is for all members of our community, including
Elon, other academic institutions, local government, local
businesses, and anyone else interested in the future of our
region.
The Elon Center for Environmental Studies was created in the
fall of 2000 to provide opportunities for students and
faculty to work with outside partners on projects focused on
environmental education and stewardship.
The mission of the center is to provide a regional focus for
activities and interests, which meet the environmental needs
of the community in the upper Piedmont of North Carolina. The
center seeks to:
-
-
Strengthen the professional development of Elon students
-
Promote environmental stewardship
-
Educate the public and private sectors on environmental
issues
-
Create partnerships in expertise for research, consulting,
education and collaboration
-
Provide a forum for discussion of local and regional
environmental issues
-
Provide a clearinghouse for environmentally related
information
These activities will provide the basis
for regional environmental assessment, information gathering,
analysis and dissemination.
The center gives students opportunities to work on specific
projects and to enhance their personal development in
environmental management, education and creativity. If you
are interested in learning more about the center, contact Dr. MacFall,Dr. Redington or other
