About the Center for Environmental Justice and Sustainability

The Center for Environmental Justice and Sustainability (CEJS) is a campus-wide, interdisciplinary center that seeks to inspire and prepare the next generation of leaders and professionals to meet the unprecedented ethical challenge facing us all in the early 21st century: forging a sustainable relationship between humankind and planet Earth and doing so in ways that foster justice within and between societies. The CEJS seeks to educate and develop leaders for a more just and sustainable world by:

• Engaging students in experiential learning through environmental justice and sustainability projects at Seattle U, in the greater Seattle area, and around the world
• Advancing sustainability literacy and research
• Sponsoring events, conferences, and workshops that engage students and employees with the community and advance public policy
• Promoting Seattle University's climate action and sustainability performance in all areas of our campus, from Academics and Engagement to Operations and Investments
