The FC Sustainability Studies Program:

A variety of Five College sustainability studies programs and services now offer additional opportunities and support for students who want to study the impact of humans on the environment. Current initiatives include a Five College lecture series, a website listing available courses and programs, a Five College certificate in sustainability studies and affiliated faculty members, and an investigation into a possible Five College food and agriculture summer institute, located at Hampshire Farm.

For more information, read the recent article about Five College sustainability initiatives in the Five College Ink magazine.

In September 2010, Beth Hooker joined Five Colleges, Incorporated as their first Sustainability Programs Coordinator. Since then, she has worked collaboratively on the FC sustainability studies certificate program, led an initiative to explore the feasibility of a FC Food and Agriculture Institute, located at Hampshire Farm, and sought funding for various sustainability initiatives.
