What Does Sustainability Mean to Me at Illinois Wesleyan?
There are a wealth of opportunities to learn more about environmental issues and get involved in environmental activism on the IWU campus and in the Bloomington-Normal community. The IWU Environmental Studies Program frequently sponsors talks and hands on events on a variety of topics (see Events). Check out some of these additional links!
