Franklin & Marshall College

 Franklin & Marshall's Commitment to Environmental Stewardship

At Franklin & Marshall College our mission is to foster a deep interdisciplinary understanding of sustainability and environmental stewardship concepts and topics, both theoretical and practical, to nurture innovative and creative leadership strategies, and to broaden an appreciation of the natural world in all of our constituents. The College’s focus on environmental issues (including sustainability) spans two broad categories: (1) an academic program that includes faculty from across the curriculum, interdisciplinary majors, and extensive student–faculty collaborative research, coupled with (2) extracurricular initiatives (the Millport Conservancy, the Wohlsen Center for the Sustainable Environment, the Sustainability House, etc.). Our mission embodies the belief that sustainability and stewardship, as informed by the social sciences, humanities, and natural sciences, are inextricably linked in understanding humanity’s place in the contemporary world.
