Environment & Sustainability

Sustainability education is woven into the very fabric of the FGCU curriculum, from addressing environmental concerns within each major to “University Colloquium,” a required semester-long class examining sustainability issues and how to rectify them. Our Center for Environment and Society also promotes the cause through lectures, grants, scholarship and action.

FGCU是佛罗里达州西南部及其他地区环境的管理者。我们通过参与在碳排放、粮食生产、回收利用、植树等领域衡量可持续发展成果的国家项目来对自己负责。我们的节目得到了全国的认可。

From the food we serve in our dining halls all the way down to the recycled paper used in our napkins, FGCU’s Campus Dining program is committed to real food, reusable products, sustainable living education, recycling and other green practices.

Beyond existing practices, such as solar energy production and our nation’s second largest university “ice farm,” FGCU is researching emergent technologies covering everything from water desalination to solar-powered vehicles.
