Prescott College to Host EcoLeague Consortium Retreat June 11-12, 2025
Prescott College is excited to welcome representatives from EcoLeague to campus for their annual retreat from Wednesday June 11 through Thursday, June 12, 2025. The EcoLeague is a consortium of six liberal arts colleges dedicated to environmental stewardship, social change, and educating students to build a sustainable future.
While most consortia in the United States are based on geographic proximity, the EcoLeague consortium is grounded in bio-regional, sustainability focused education. With member colleges across the United States, the EcoLeague possesses many of the advantages of a university and a small liberal arts college providing a large and talented faculty; unique, sophisticated facilities; individualized attention; and experiential learning. Through a student exchange program, EcoLeague colleges offer semester exchange programs that allow students of one school to study at another, giving them access to ecosystems, faculty, and unique place-based experiences throughout the nation and the world.
Members from each of the six EcoLeague colleges will be represented:
- Alaska Pacific University:- Anchorage, AK
- College of the Atlantic – Bar Harbor, ME
- Dickinson College – Carlisle, PA
- New College of Florida – Sarasota, FL
- Prescott College – Prescott, AZ
- St. Lawrence University – Canton, NY
Retreat attendees will use their time together to imagine the next phase of sustainability education, operations, and facilities management on the consortium’s various campuses and reflect on lessons learned, experiences, and advantages of being a member of EcoLeague.
Bringing together faculty, administrators, and others involved in sustainability initiatives throughout the consortium, the retreat will take place over two days on Prescott College’s campus, allowing for local adventures during the retreat led by our faculty and staff to the Granite Dells and more. The retreat will include interactive sessions in which participants will share perspectives, experiences, and pedagogies in selected areas of study and explore opportunities for collaborations across the EcoLeague member colleges for immersive learning programs.
