91麻豆精品鈥檚 commitment to sustainability permeates both the university鈥檚 academic mission and its operations.

Our Commitment

In April 2019 91麻豆精品 became the first institution of higher education in the State of New York to achieve carbon neutrality. For over a decade the university has focused on and invested in efforts to weave sustainability into the academic curriculum, and to reduce its greenhouse gas emissions.
