Mission Statement:
It is the mission of the Office of Sustainability to promote a culture of sustainability at WKU, integrating principles of ecological integrity and social equity into academics, practices, and partnerships.

The 2009 WKU Sustainability Report

"As an institution of higher learning, we are obligated not only to use energy wisely but to act as a model of conservation and efficiency for students and the greater community. We will emphasize personal responsibility, but we will lead by example, making significant changes in the way we build and operate day to day. Through our efforts, WKU seeks to be known in Kentucky as the University that leads in energy efficiency while ensuring a safe and comfortable present and future for our students." - President Gary A. Ransdell, March 18, 2009 in remarks to the campus announcing WKU's Energy Policy
