Environmental stewardship at JMU is a defining characteristic:
The university will be an environmentally literate community whose members think critically and act, individually and collectively, as model stewards of the natural world.
Our three campus goals are:
1. minimizing materials impact, emissions, toxins, solid waste, and consumption;
2. conserving, stewarding, and restoring natural systems; and,
3. advancing environmental literacy and engagement through research, education, and community programs.
JMU has signed the Talloires Declaration and the American College & University President’s Climate Commitment (ACUPCC). A campus emissions inventory has been completed and an environmental action plan begun. JMU has adopted a variety of environmentally responsible policies and practices.
