Sustainability Committee

The University of Saint Joseph (USJ) is committed to advancing environmental sustainability and achieving carbon neutrality by integrating sustainable practices into its teaching, research, campus operations, and community engagement. The USJ Sustainability Committee oversees this commitment by developing sustainability action plans, coordinating their implementation, and monitoring progress towards the University’s environmental goals. The Committee comprises two entities: the Service Learning Entity, which promotes community engagement and social responsibility through experiential learning and service initiatives, and the Environmental Action Entity, which focuses on environmental awareness, sustainable practices, and ecological conservation. Together, these entities foster a culture of sustainability and responsible stewardship, reflecting USJ’s mission of providing a holistic and ethical education while contributing to a more sustainable future.
