The establishment, in 2012, of the Robert Redford Conservancy for Southern California Sustainability is a key part of Pitzer’s drive to expand on the College’s legacy of actions that promote socio-environmental awareness and wellbeing. The Redford Conservancy not only serves as a locus to facilitate action on Pitzer’s sustainability commitments, but it is also a leader in innovative academic programming and interdisciplinary education around environmental challenges. Academically driven by the liberal arts, and guided by Pitzer College’s core values of social responsibility and environmental sustainability, we engage interdisciplinary and collaborative approaches to environmental problem-solving. The Redford Conservancy aims to promote both the longevity of Southern California’s natural environment, and the wellbeing of its peoples.
