Sustaining Success
The Delaware Environmental Institute (DENIN), the University of Delaware's interdisciplinary environmental science, engineering and policy research institute, will host a number of free seminars for the UD community and the general public this fall.
While taking a stroll through the University of Delaware, you may have come across one of hundreds -- 844, in fact -- of small metal medallions located on the numerous catch basins on campus and wondered what they are doing there.
Suggestions
Sustainability is inherently rooted in the core principles of the University of Delaware, through research, action and engagement.
Through leading-edge research and scholarship on solar technology, fuel cells, sustainable landfills, offshore wind power and many other fields, the University produces research and scholarship that significantly affects the world and the State of Delaware.
By incorporating sustainability into its own operations, the University develops the infrastructure and financial base to ensure the University of Delaware continues to propel and sustain a path to prominence. While the University has had many successes in sustainability, it will continue to work to integrate sustainability into all aspects of the University.
UD offers sustainability-related coursework in engineering, history, geography, wildlife ecology, marine studies and many other areas, providing a high-quality learning environment in undergraduate, graduate and professional programs.
The University of Delaware has joined other colleges and universities in supporting these two sustainability initiatives:
