Naropa Sustainability Council
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. This involves proposing and implementing projects, programs, events and initiatives, as well as providing strategic input on sustainability goals and planning. NSC acts as a liaison for the student body to make an impact on the university as a whole.
