Northland College
School Notes Overview:
Long before "green" and "global climate change" became part of our national conversation, Northland College was building its national reputation as a leader in environmental and sustainability issues. Our students and faculty have been addressing the science and politics of the human-nature relationship in practical and imaginative ways long before most others thought it important or relevant. Or acceptable.
