Community Impact

The university has become a respected source of expertise and inspiration in areas such as economic forecasting, which is provided by the Regional Economic Research Institute; health and societal issues, as addressed by our medical and social work experts in the Marieb College of Health & Human Services; environmental problems researched by our professor-scientists at the Vester Marine & Environmental Science Research Field Station and The Water School; teachers from the College of Education; and the excitement of competition as displayed by our men’s and women’s basketball and men’s baseball teams.

The university leads by example as well, with a 15-acre solar field that powers three large lab and classroom buildings, rooftop solar panels on some residence halls that provide hot water, LEED-certified buildings, and many other sustainable initiatives.
