Goucher College is one of more than 200 colleges and universities that have signed the American Campus Act on Climate Pledge to demonstrate support for strong international climate action.
Goucher, also a signer of the American College and University Presidents’ Climate Commitment, is already taking significant action to reduce greenhouse gas emissions, increase campus sustainability, and incorporate environmental action into academics and co-curricular activities.
