Mission

The Naropa Sustainability Council (NSC) is an open and inclusive gathering for all members of Naropa University. This is a space that gives life to ideas and initiatives toward sustainable and regenerative living. NSC is focused on increasing ecological literacy and reducing our carbon footprint. Sustainability is a core value of Naropa's mission, and the NSC is a vehicle to put this value into action.

NSC acts as a liaison for the student body to make an impact on the university as a whole.
