At Kalamazoo College our motto is “be light.” In order to be responsible global citizens who are truly “at home in the world,” we must work hard to keep our home clean and safe for future generations. Environmental responsibility is therefore at the core of our mission as human beings and as an institution.
There are many initiatives, departments and student organizations working on sustainability at K.
