Sustainability Across the Curriculum, & Living Laboratory Education
Carleton has recently named sustainability across the curriculum an institutional priority and committed to deepening living laboratory experiences on campus and in our community. Starting in May/June 2025 we will offer an annual workshop that supports faculty in activity design featuring interdisciplinary, inclusive, and place based education support. We will develop our program in a shared leadership model between Sustainability, The Teaching and Learning Center, SERC, and CCCE.

Sustainability Revolving Fund
The Sustainability Revolving Fund (SRF) supports student-initiated projects that reduce Carleton’s greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions. Currently, SRF projects must also lead to monetary savings. The Sustainability Revolving Fund was created when Carleton College agreed to match a donation made by the Carleton Students Association (CSA) and the Environmental Advisory Committee (EAC). Jim Haughn (class of ’83) raised donations from his class by riding his bike 800 miles from Toledo, Ohio to his Carleton Class Reunion in Northfield. “Jim’s Bright Idea” raised nearly $14,000 additional dollars. The SRF is not currently active while we explore models to expand participation in sustainability solutions projects.
