Environmental Sustainability
We who live in the heart of innovation and scientific discovery share an obligation to protect our planet.
Help us prepare the next generation of environmental activists, scientists, conservationists and problem-solvers.
A Green Investment
As you consider where to invest your philanthropic dollars, it may not seem obvious that donating to the West Valley-Mission Community College District is an investment in a more sustainable future. We’re here to show you why there’s no better investment.
Demand for Environmental Education
Today's college students are laser focused on the future of our planet. Studies show an overwhelming majority of students say that their feelings around climate change will now influence the career they plan to pursue in some way. In addition to pursuing a career that actively tackles climate change, students are interested in working in sustainability, scientific research, conservation, environmental policy and advocacy. To meet this demand, we are commited to providing classroom and fieldwork experiences that help students pursue their passion and explore their educational and career options.
We don't just talk the talk. We lead by example.
Across both West Valley and Mission College campuses, we are implementing projects to conserve energy and natural resources while reducing our carbon footprint. To minimize campus impact on the environment, all new buildings are built using the latest in green technology and sustainable materials. With these efforts, the district is taking strides toward a more sustainable future while involving our students, knowing they will lead us into a greener tomorrow.
