Now, more institutions are becoming eco-friendly by establishing conservation programs and updating their campus infrastructures. HBCUs are also raising awareness among students and training them to become good stewards of the environment.
In July, Clark Atlanta University signed an agreement with the Environmental Defense Fund to administer a grant to promote conservation, environmental protection and restoration. Originally held by the United Negro College Fund (UNCF) Special Programs Corporation, transfer of the Building Green Initiative grant to CAU will expand eco-friendly opportunities for more HBCUs.
