Environmental Policies

Protecting Our
Environment

One policy at a time.

Every policy is designed with two goals in mind: keeping people safe and minimizing our environmental footprint. Whether it's ensuring chemical waste never reaches our groundwater or having clear action plans for environmental emergencies, these guidelines help every member of our campus community make decisions that benefit both immediate safety and long-term sustainability.
