Delta College

With that, we like to think Delta’s founders had a plan from the start in providing a philosophy that has grown into a way of life.

Our approach to sustainability includes local and national partnerships that help to set the foundation of our sustainability focus. We use the Sustainability Tracking, Assessment & Rating System (STARS) as our framework for creating programs and initiatives that our students, staff and faculty can take leadership roles in. Together, we create opportunities where we can make a difference through academics as well as community engagement, operations, and planning and administration. Our green campus is about more than just the environment. Its a place where people learn to create resilient communities where everyone thrives!

Our campuses are designed to support learning-centered communities where our partners can get hands-on experience when it comes to sustainability. These are just highlights of some things we have been working on!

We are excited to have a team of staff and faculty taking part of this brand new, and unique concept called Climate Action Pursuit. Led by Second Nature and the Intentional Endowments Network (IEN), the Pursuit is a series of milestone check-in points throughout 2021 focused on learning, planning, acting, and leading on equity and climate on our campuses and in our communities. 

Our campuses are designed to support learning-centered communities where our partners can get hands-on experience when it comes to sustainability. Tours and presentations for any of our campuses can be scheduled by contacting us at sustainability@delta.edu.

Our campus initiatives continue to set the standard in higher education! Delta College has been recognized as the 6th top performing community college for sustainability in the USA! The 2020 Sustainable Campus Index highlights the most sustainable colleges and universities in 17 impact areas and overall by institution type.
