Sustainability at Wilson College

Wilson College has pledged its commitment to environmental sustainability. For more than 10 years, Wilson has housed the Richard Alsina Fulton Center for Sustainable Living, which provides a wide range of projects and programming aimed at furthering education about sustainable practices. FCSL operates the seven-acre Fulton Farm, which grows vegetables through non-certified organic methods and offers them to the College community and the community-at-large through its Community-Supported Agriculture (CSA) program. In addition, FCSL oversees the Robyn Van En Center, which houses a national database of CSAs and provides information, advice and guidance to a wide range of people all over the world about the promise of CSAs as a way to reconnect people to farmers and preserve small, family farms. In January 2009 Wilson opened the Harry R. Brooks Complex for Science, Mathematics and Technology.

Wilson College President Lorna Duphiney Edmundson had further expanded the College’s commitment to sustainability in 2007 by becoming a charter signatory of the American Association of Colleges and University Presidents Climate Commitment, which pledges to sharply reduce and eventually eliminate all of the college’s global warming emissions, and accelerate the research and educational efforts to equip society to re-stabilize the earth’s climate.
