Sustainability at CSB

Our Mission

As a Benedictine institution, we take seriously our commitment to stewardship. As an institution of higher education, we have the duty to prepare students to be responsible citizens equipped to meet the social, ethical, local and global challenges of today. To achieve this goal, we have to be dedicated to creating a culture of sustainability on campus.

Responsible Printing Tip

Change margins to fit more onto a page, especially when printing articles to read. Print references on the same page rather than starting a new page. Most professors won't mind if you make these modifications. - Jen Kramer, Communication Professor.
