Student Sustainability Committee:
Mission
The Lees-McRae Student Sustainability Council (SSC)’s mission for Lees-McRae is to make students more aware of diverse ways to live sustainably and give them the opportunity to do so. We strive to make Lees-McRae a more sustainable campus to help the environment and reduce students’ impact.
Goals
Another way of helping this new council would be money factored into the Outdoor Recreation Management budget each year. We also have some ideas for fundraising which include asking for a donation from a locally owned sustainable business or corporate sponsorships to get us started.
