Green Initiatives

Capitol College has demonstrated its commitment to environmental management by becoming a part of the Maryland Green Registry. The college has supported the state in moving toward a sustainable Maryland by:

• Forming an Environmental Committee to develop college-wide activities and establish an institutional plan and goals to expand our green promise.
• Printing on paper containing 50% recycled content, including 15% post consumer waste.
• Participating in community environmental projects, like the Gorgeous Prince George's Day Tree Planting.
• Communicating electronically via our monthly e-newsletter, the Capitol Connector, and making our college catalog available online.
• Conserving energy through the BGE Smart Energy Savers Program.
• Allowing eligible employees to telecommute to reduce daily commuter trips and fuel consumption.
• Utilizing teleconferencing technology and our synchronous Capitol Live and asynchronous Capitol Online platforms to connect with our long distance students and faculty members.
