In 2006, 17 environmental economics students embarked on a campus-wide inventory and environmental policy review. They offered University officials recommendations, and their research became the basis for Fairfield University's Green Movement Initiative. And then the ball really started rolling with the Red to Green handbook, this website, and a new vibe on campus geared to anything and everything Earth friendly.

Program on the Environment
Currently called Environmental Studies, this evolving program and minor teaches the value of enviro-friendly living, offers a plethora of research and study abroad opportunities, and - if that isn't enough - gives students a nifty way to weave an intriguing theme of environmental awareness through their core requirements.
