Center for Environmental Justice and Sustainability
Inspiring care for our communities through the research and practice of social, economic and environmental sustainability.
The Center for Environmental Justice and Sustainability is a campus-wide, interdisciplinary Center that seeks to inspire and prepare the next generation of leaders and professionals to meet the unprecedented ethical challenge facing us all in the early 21st century: forging a sustainable relationship between humankind and planet Earth and doing so in ways that foster justice within and between societies. CEJS seeks to educate and develop leaders for a more just and sustainable world by:
- Engaging students in experiential learning through environmental justice and sustainability projects at Seattle U, in the greater Seattle area, and around the world
- Advancing sustainability literacy and research
- Sponsoring events, conferences, and workshops that engage students and employees with the community and advance public policy
- Promoting Seattle University's climate action and sustainability performance in all areas of our campus, from Academics and Engagement to Operations and Investments
