As someone who has been intrinsically involved with the Joslyn Institute for Sustainable Communities, I’m sad to announce that the very worthwhile organization, the Joslyn Institute for Sustainable Communities has ceased operations. The organization began as an endeavor established by Emeritus Dean and Professor W. Cecil Steward over 27 plus years ago. We are saddened to see this great organization go but will look for other resources and creative means to keep Cecil’s vision alive through the various ways we will incorporate sustainability practices not only into our curriculum but in our daily lives.

An essay by David Ochsner on the legacy of its founder, has been posted to the website and will remain there for the rest of 2022.

Please take a moment to read this tribute.
