- Roles
Framingham State’s students, faculty and staff take pride in being responsible environmental stewards.
Framingham State University has been a leader among universities nation-wide in promoting sustainable practices on campus, as well as offering degree opportunities in several fields allowing for students to not only gain experience through internships but to find permanent employment in the growing fields of environmental endeavors and policy.
The 2015 purchase of the Warren Conference Center will allow for much needed field expansion of these programs. Besides the 70 acre setting of the center itself, it is surrounding by Warren Woods, Ashland State Park, Massachusetts Audubon Wildlife Sanctuary, as well as private property protected by conservation restrictions totaling close to 1,600 acres of relatively contiguous conservation land.

The acquisition of the Ashland property will provide increased opportunities for field work in FSU's environmental programs.
