How we engage with our Northfield and broader communities is vital to the success of our work. While the majority of our programs take place on campus or locally, we also engage regionally and nationally for change. Our office has supported the development of Northfield’s Climate Action Plan, participated in local energy and resilience decision making and outreach, and led local, regional, and national sustainability and climate action workshops. We especially celebrate Earth Day with weeklong activities in collaboration with many organizations in Northfield.
