Grinnell College adopted a formal Sustainability Plan in 2018 and has been working toward that goal ever since. However, sustainability efforts at the college date back to the 1990s. This display explores past student- and college-driven initiatives and previews the Library Sustainability Certificate Series, which will begin in Fall 2026. In partnership with the Sustainability Department, students, staff, and faculty, Grinnell College Libraries will pursue this certificate to re-dedicate itself to sustainability. Learn more about the series of events and activities we have in store to inform and engage the community and celebrate progress made along the way.
