U of M recieves top marks for sustainability

The University of Minnesota-Twin Cities received top marks for sustainability in a report card issued by the Sustainable Endowments Institute. The U of M is one of 26 schools nationwide that was named an 'Overall Sustainability Leader.' Minnesota's grade was an A- and placed us at the top in the Big 10! Look here if you want to see the full report card.

Sustainability is an integral issue for College of Food, Agricultural and Natural Resource Sciences students, staff, and faculty. Inside and outside the classroom, we think about 'being green,' environmentalism, integrity, renewable resources, community, and balance. As a college, we are training our students to be able to solve today's problems and you can get involved. If you want to learn about sustainability and apply that knowledge to your community and future career, you may want to minor in sustainability. The sustainability studies minor is a compliment to many majors within the college and the University.
