About Us
CNM's sustainability goals are to reduce waste, water use, energy use, and carbon emissions while educating the CNM community about sustainable practices. As part of CNM's overarching strategic direction, the Sustainability Committee is charged with supporting and promoting collegewide integration of sustainability concepts into the curriculum and across campuses in a meaningful way.
The committee’s ongoing objectives are to:
- Provide student learning opportunities via sustainability experiential learning projects.
- Increase student engagement in sustainability issues.
- Formalize student learning via sustainability education paths.
