About the Environment and Sustainability Residential College

The Environment & Sustainability Residential College is a living-learning community that engages students in learning about many aspects of the local environment, all in the context of sustainability, by bringing together students and faculty interested in understanding and actively supporting the development of a healthy environment for all residents. Students will get to know Lexington from the bottom up to understand how the environment shapes the human community, and vice versa.

The Environmental & Sustainability community encourages students to extend their classroom learning through community engagement with organizations committed to developing a sustainable Lexington.  Join our tight-knit group with other like-minded students.  You will spend time together in class, held in your residence hall, and in program-specific activities in the residence hall and on field trips.
