Office of Sustainability logo

Because West Chester University seeks to be a leader in local, regional, and global sustainability efforts, the Office of Research and Sponsored Programs has collaborated with the Office of Sustainability to create a special designation for those Research and Creative Activity Day projects that perpetuate the health and welfare of people, economies, and the environment. Thus, all abstracts identified with the Brandywine B reveal the many ways that West Chester University faculty and students are helping to design, implement, evaluate, and improve a variety of environmental, social, and economic sustainability activities.
