Launched in 2003, the EcoLeague is a consortium of liberal arts colleges and universities dedicated to ecologically focused education and research as well as modeling sustainability through their operations and facilities. Members span the United States and offer students exchange opportunities to learn in diverse ecosystems and communities with faculty who have a wide range of disciplinary and regional expertise. These opportunities are essential for students who are preparing to live and work in a global and interconnected world. While most consortia in the United States are based on geographic proximity, the EcoLeague consortium is grounded in bio-regional, sustainability-focused education.
Celebrating its 20th anniversary in 2023/24, the EcoLeague consortium is currently comprised of six members. The EcoLeague includes colleges and universities across the United States: Alaska Pacific University in Anchorage, AK; College of the Atlantic in Bar Harbor, ME; Dickinson College in Carlisle, PA; New College of Florida in Sarasota, FL; Prescott College in Prescott, AZ; and St. Lawrence University in Canton, NY. While modeling sustainability through programs and facilities may be commonplace in today’s world, many EcoLeague members chose this path years ago and became national environmental and sustainability leaders.
