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 members of the Environmental Studies
