Vision Statement
JWU’s Sustainability & Energy Conservation office envisions a campus that leads by example in environmental responsibility, resource conservation and community engagement. Our goal is to create a future where our campus operates efficiently, reduces its environmental footprint and fosters a strong culture of sustainability among students, faculty and staff.
We are dedicated to educating and empowering the campus community to be proactive stewards of shared resources. By fostering sustainable habits and encouraging active participation in community service, we seek to extend our impact beyond campus, contributing to a more environmentally conscious and resilient future for both our institution and the surrounding community.
Through our commitment to reducing the energy use index across all buildings, we align with local, state, and national energy reduction policies, continuously improving campus-wide efficiency. Our goal is to achieve a 60-80% diversion rate, ensuring responsible waste management and a significant reduction in landfill contributions.
