Sustainability at Washington and Lee University

Sustainability at Washington and Lee University gogreen.wlu.edu Washington and Lee's motto is Non Incautus Futuri - not unmindful of the future.

Our present challenge is to lead the way to a more sustainable future by developing a learning community whose members are mindful of their responsibility to future generations, sensitive to the stewardship of natural resources, and equitable in their social and economic relationships.
