Northland plays a key role across the country on issues of sustainability. Most recently, we became a member of the leadership circle of signatories of the American Colleges and Universities Presidents’ Climate Commitment.

The College has begun a two-year comprehensive planning process to understand its greenhouse gas footprint and set a goal to become climate neutral. Northland also has affiliations with the Upper Midwest Association for Campus Sustainability, National Wildlife Federation's Campus Ecology Program, Campus Consortium for Environmental Excellence, Chequamegon Bay Green Team, and the Ecoleague, among others.
