The Fund for RE & Sustainability
The sustainability program at RE continues to shine at Ransom Everglades because of our shared commitment to creating a greener future.
Our effort and intention grows each year, and with it, our students’ participation in co-creating a more sustainable environment on campus and beyond. The entire Ransom Everglades community works together to support a variety of sustainable initiatives from Earth Month celebrations and the RE Climate Symposium to the reuse and upcycling of everyday products to exploring alternative energy sources.
