On Friday, November 16, President Michael S. Roth signed the American College and University Presidents Climate Commitment.
The Commitment has been signed by 434 colleges and universities' presidents to date, and Roth acknowledged EON as being one of the primary forces that prompted him to sign the pledge after a few of us met with him in September.
Our own Jacob Mirsky '08 was invited to make an opening speech at the ceremony, which was presided over by the Chair of the Board of Trustees, Jim Dresser, and was attended by a host of trustees, students, and staff members. You can read more about Friday's ceremony here.
Now that the Commitment has been signed, Wesleyan has one year to create a comprehensive inventory of its greenhouse gas emissions, and two years to come out with a plan of action for achieving carbon neutrality. There is so much to be done to make Wesleyan more sustainable, and EON is leading the way in making sure it happens.
