Sustainability Happenings
The John Cabot community is active in promoting and organizing myriad events and activities that rotate around sustainability, both within and outside of the University. Many of these happenings are integrated with the curriculum; others are outside of the academic sphere. In both cases, they reinforce and fuel the dynamic approach that our students, alumni and faculty have towards sustainability.
