On Friday, October 3, President Lisa Marsh Ryerson signed the American College and University Presidents Climate Commitment.
In signing the Presidents Climate Commitment, Wells becomes a leader in the effort to reduce global warming emissions. The College also joins an expanding national movement in which institutions of higher learning pledge to set a positive example in the fields of environmental ethics and sustainability. To date, nearly 600 colleges and universities across the nation have made the pledge.
Wells made the decision to sign on to the Presidents Climate Commitment last fall after a period of careful consideration. Ultimately, the deep and abiding concern for sustainability demonstrated by people throughout the Wells community was a good part of the reason that the College determined to sign.
