Campus Initiatives

At Emmanuel College, green isn't just the color of our grassy quad and tree-lined campus. Green is our commitment to the environment and to the students we educate, helping to ensure that we make the world a little bit better each day.

In pursuit of sustainability, we are currently participating in a number of campus initiatives:
