Sustaining Success
The leading thinkers from the world's offshore wind energy community gathered to discuss the industry's future at a conference held Feb. 2-3 in Philadelphia and supported by the University of Delaware. Offshore Wind Powers: Creating a Roadmap for Commercially Successful Offshore Wind Projects brought together more than 150 representatives from the financial, academic, conservation, and scientific communities as well as the government.
For the fourth year in a row, the University of Delaware is participating in RecycleMania, a friendly competition among colleges and universities across the United States to collect and recycle the most recyclable materials.
Suggestions
Sustainability is inherently rooted in the core principles of the University of Delaware, through research, action and engagement.
Through leading-edge research and scholarship on solar technology, fuel cells, sustainable landfills, offshore wind power and many other fields, the University produces research and scholarship that significantly affects the world and the State of Delaware.
By incorporating sustainability into its own operations, the University develops the infrastructure and financial base to ensure the University of Delaware continues to propel and sustain a path to prominence. While the University has had many successes in sustainability, it will continue to work to integrate sustainability into all aspects of the University.
UD offers sustainability-related coursework in engineering, history, geography, wildlife ecology, marine studies and many other areas, providing a high-quality learning environment in undergraduate, graduate and professional programs.
The University of Delaware has joined other colleges and universities in supporting these two sustainability initiatives:
