Sustainability at Tri-C

Cuyahoga Community College (Tri-C) aspires to instill in our students, faculty, and staff a sense of stewardship towards the environment by giving them the information and support to continue sustainability efforts beyond the campus environment.

Sustainability at Tri-C means achieving the College’s educational and community missions with a sense of responsibility for preserving the environment, promoting the economy and improving society as a whole. We strive to prepare our students, faculty, and staff to be leaders in creating and promoting a culture of diversity, sustainability, and environmental sensitivity through our community.

  • Metamorphosis Cleveland is a student-focused event which was held in spring 2023 and spring  2019 to showcase and recognize student work related to issues of sustainability. Click here for more details.
  • Curious about what can go in the mixed recycling bins around Tri-C, or how mixed recycling gets sorted after it is collected? Check out Tri-C's mixed recycling guidelines and learn how Tri-C's mixed recycling gets sorted.
  • Registered and paid credit students at Tri-C receive a free RTA U-Pass to improve accessibility to campus and encourage the use of mass transit.
