The Eco-League
By Liz MacDonald ’04
Antioch recently joined a coalition of five colleges who
share a deep commitment to the environment. Fellow Eco-League
members are Green Mountain College, College of the Atlantic,
Northland College, Prescott College and Alaskan-Pacific College.
All Eco-League schools have strong environmental curriculum,
environmental activism, and are working on becoming “greener”
institutions.

The concept of the Eco-league began
as a student initiative several years ago. Through the
dedication of several faculty members and students,
it was finally formalized last summer.

This coalition will give students the option of studying
for a semester or more at one of the other Eco-League campuses,
providing access to seven completely different eco-systems
for study.
Through the dedication of several faculty members and students,
the Eco-League was finally formalized last summer. This fall
Jim Hormel of the Comunicators Group came to campus to record
footage for a promotional DVD to be used to solicit foundations
and enhance student recruitment efforts.
