Green Campus Initiatives
The University of Minnesota, Morris is deeply rooted in the tall prairie grass and connected to the blue prairie sky. The campus community has advanced sustainable, environmentally friendly initiatives since the original Earth Day. Since 2000, these efforts have grown to levels of national leadership and touch nearly all aspects of campus life - power, food, water, transportation, waste stream infrastructure, academic study, and quality of life.
Partnerships with University of Minnesota programs and a multitude of organizations, neighbors and friends on the prairie have been essential in this work. State and national resources have advanced our collective efforts. UMM is also a member of the Association for the Advancement of Sustainability in Higher Education (AASHE) and the Upper Midwest Association for Campus Sustainability (UMACS).

It’s always a great thing to see when campuses continue to boost their green, environmental efforts. To me, that speaks great lengths of their innovation, and the ability for an institution to not only improve the lives of its students, but also the community and the environment it’s part of.
