SUSTAINABLE STEVENSON

LEARN MORE about these and the many other completed and upcoming projects at stevenson . edu / ces
Since 2013 , the Center for Environmental Stewardship ( CES ) has been a part of the Fine School of the Sciences . The center ’ s mission is to “ cultivate an environmentally literate citizenry and support educational opportunities and programs in environmental science and sustainability .” By promoting civic engagement and volunteerism , the CES works to keep the environment and neighboring communities healthy .
Kimberly Pause Tucker , Ph . D ., Director , Center for Environmental Stewardship and Associate Professor of Biological Sciences , says that she and her students have worked hard during the past few years to get the CES where it is today . “ We are excited that there are so many great faculty , staff , and students who are interested in sustainability , and we hope that through our efforts and the efforts of others that sustainability and community service become an even bigger part of the SU culture .”

A NEW LOOK AT CAMPUS

In October , Stevenson launched new interactive campus maps to make it even easier to navigate its two campuses . When prospective students and their parents — as well as alumni coming back to see what else is new — visit campus , the University wants their experience to be a great one .
Visitors can now refine the search for their destination by campus , including a more specific breakdown by academic building , residence hall , athletic areas , dining facilities , parking , and shuttle bus stops . Other miscellaneous categories include campus stores , areas reserved for meditation , and quads .
Each location is marked by an icon and accompanying description . For added convenience , there is also a comprehensive search feature where any name or keyword of a campus structure can be entered with results immediately yielded in real-time .
