44. “ I’ve seen students’ lives change here. Some come without focus or direction and they find a life’s purpose in helping the environment. We train leaders here. They are happy here.” “ Now that we have this green building, there are so many spinoffs. We can barely keep track. It’s created a life on its own.” “ The love that went into this place is coming back many fold.” Julie Phillips, Morgan Family Chair in Environmental Studies at the Kirsch Center Inspiring learning environment Kirsch Center
