Protecting, promoting natural beauty boosts sustainability

One of Waubonsee’s greatest assets are its beautiful campuses. Protecting and promoting the natural beauty of the campuses is one of the top goals of the Campus Operations Department. While many similar institutions have well-groomed, highly maintained, and manicured campuses, Waubonsee has a rich rustic beauty that is hard to replicate. This natural beauty is the result of the continued sustainability initiatives and practices the college has committed to throughout its existence. It is no secret that Waubonsee is growing, and the need to balance development with environmental sustainability is paramount to being good stewards of our natural environment.

Have you ever been in a new place for the first time, yet somehow still felt a sense of belonging or familiarity? If you have, that feeling or recognition is known as a “sense of place.” Achieving a sense of place, or creating community, is tied to having a strong identity and character that are recognized and felt by visitors and residents. These are powerful feelings conveyed by a combination of small details and many larger efforts, and providing that feeling is important for community colleges.
