Leadershipby Examplea 20 year outlookThe founders of the university had the vision for an institutionof higher education that would produce “cultured and usefulcitizens”. They also designed the physical campus in accordwith the natural environment of the region. In a rich history ofprofound choices, leading achievements and great commitment,we outline a period of high investment and results in the field ofenvironmental sustainability.
