Sustainability
“Learning Green, Living Green,” the mantra for Frostburg State University's Sustainability Initiative, says all you need to know about the thriving institution’s commitment to both green education and lifestyle. A charter member of the ACUPCC, this green powerhouse in Western Maryland boasts numerous academic opportunities for green-minded students. On the classwork end, Frostburg offers environmental courses and degrees in more than fifteen departments, spanning ethnobotany, recreation and parks management, sociology, and wildlife and fisheries. On the research side, Frostburg State has a new, off-grid Sustainable Energy Research Facility (SERF), which will be home to a wide variety of renewable energy research projects, while also serving as an instructional building for classes related to renewable energy. Aside from presenting at FSU’s annual “Focus Frostburg” day of learning on environmental sustainability and climate awareness, students who want practical sustainability-related experience also have the chance to participate in the innovative Frostburg Grows project, a greenhouse complex on a former strip mine that grows local food and native trees and teaches local growers to do the same, extending their growing seasons by up to three months. It should come as no surprise that the green movement has permeated Frostburg State’s community lifestyle, with myriad student-run clubs and societies playing a central role in everyday campus life, including the Wildlife Society and the Sierra Student Coalition. Want more proof that sustainability is more than a buzzword at Frostburg State University? The institution has been named a Tree Campus USA two years running, with a commitment to planting native trees. Frostburg is also committed to purchasing or producing at least 15 percent of its electricity consumption from renewable resources. Living and learning green, indeed.
