The Sustainable Development Goals in Practices

As a university, we’re elevating and strengthening our contributions to the Global Goals.

We’re continually setting a new standard for sustainability efforts, further expanding on our activities that are making a difference. Every activity is contributing to our collective efforts and, through university-led policies, CMU community-led activities and student organizations, we’re deepening our commitment toward a more sustainable future.
